KESC makes tons and tons of profit.
Their managers earn millions... How will they feed their fat bellies if they start producing cheap electricity ????
Not possible in our corrupt country...

Also, some modification can enable power companies to switch off air conditioners and other home appliances drawing extreme amounts of energy remotely which will end the need of loadshedding in Pakistan where over 5000MW is consumed by A/Cs in summer, the students said.

[MENTION=656]r3aper[/MENTION]! Always remember one thing.

Giving too much control in the hands of Corporations is the END of consumerism.

That will happen one day.

still 12 hours loadshedding here in Gujrat (When power is available 8PM-5AM, 8AM-9AM, 1PM-2PM, 4PM-5PM) and we also survived through 21 hours loadshedding for more than two week :D just don't don't ask me how I was feeling back then.

That is just wrong on so many levels, it's an invasion of privacy and violations of our rights as consumers.Don't even think about it.

We are popularly also known as "The Danday Wali Quam".

I rest my case.
Har banday ko 1 he category main na rolo <_<

Load shedding ko control karne k bohat se tareeqay hain. Consumers DO NOT have to pay the price for that. And consumers ESPECIALLY NEED NOT be treated like a slave.

Corruption is the main problem, and NOT doing anything for the betterment of the society as a whole. That also includes blocking those who intend to do the better.

Load shedding control karni hay to Alternative Sources banao. Corruption remove karo. Production increase karo and Cost Reduce karo. Firangeeon ko b*** dena band karo including begging them for money.

Controlling measures like mentioned in the above post will do better but marginally. At best, its gonna make the consumers a slave for these companies and they'll do whatever they want, and you won't even be able to counter that. There is just so many things wrong going digital on these things.

I don't know where i read it but they have their own Power stations which produce 50-70% of electricity, rest WAPDA.

Because of the stupid directives of SC for the so called 'equitable' loadshedding, it's increased to 10 hours here. We've never, ever had 10 hours scheduled loadshedding here.
Rona band kar. Be a man and take it like everyone else :p

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
