  • I always get downvoted for saying it, but I don’t care because the real water savings never came from stupid showers: It comes from not growing crops in the damned desert; it comes from not growing grass on lawns in arid environments; it comes from not raising so many cattle.

    Most low flow shower heads have a plastic insert in them called a restrictor that can be removed to make it work like the high flow ones.

    It’s nothing more than a small cylinder that can be pushed or pulled out from the shower line and manufacturers use these restrictors because it allows them to sell the same unit in multiple markets.

    EDIT: Forgot to add water savings reasons.










  • Noooooo!

    I’ve been following Anand and his replacements there at Anandtech since Anand only did early youtube type videos on Yahoo lol. Anand was considered a n00b by Comdex goers and reviewers alike. Back then, competition from the likes of Kyle @ [H]ardOCP, John @ AMDZone, cmdrtaco @ /., TheInquirer (now theregister), Sharky Extreme, Tomshardware and many others I honestly don’t remember off the top of my head that really ruled the roost.

    Anand made a name for himself in the company of some very tough competition.

    Hats off to the man and his team over the years, they had a really great run.
