The max button is like the old turbo button for your computer. Does anyone really use 'slow' mode?
Turbo mode kills the battery faster and stresses the battery harder.
Cleaning day just got a whole lot more fun.

Bill Gates is doing the same thing. It's annoying. https://agfundernews.com/gates-if-not-for-climate-then-why-i...
I think in the US there are also a good tax breaks for creating 'farms' on your land. Since we give so much subsidy to the industry. IIRC lot of billionaires will get sheep grazing or something like that to claim their mega mansions as farms. I thought I remember Marc Cuban is an example but can't find a quick source. So maybe my memory is wrong on this one.

Thats gonna be tricky, you thinking dig up the corpse and ask him or break out the Ouija board?
Either way, the point stands. Just because you don't like someone isn't really justification for asking a tough question if you're not willing to ask similar tough questions to somebody you do like.
Maybe he should explain his Brexit position? As far as I know this man is not an expert in anything but shirking expensive gimmicky fans and being a huge hypocrite, why he should be considered a authority in design I don't know. I've ways wondered what clout James Dyson gets for being confused with Freeman Dyson, an actual genius.
Also, Dyson products feel incredibly cheap in the hand to me for the price paid. You can just feel how many cycles of cost reduction each one went through. Expensive products are one thing, but products that are upmarketed primarily because a big name wants more money, rub me the wrong way. It shows a disdain for your customer. I feel holding him up as some guru perpetuates this annoyance.

I really dislike Dyson. 1) Move to Singapore, citing that Britain won't join the euro as a factor. 2) EU energy efficiency test goes against his product 3) Campaigns for Brexit I had one of his vacuum cleaners and it was under powered and always needed cleaning inside. I got a Meile with a bag afterwards. Much more powerful for less money.
It's hit or miss. For a plug-in vacuum, there are others I would choose first. But for a cordless stick vacuum, nobody else is comparable.
It's last year model though, not sure what the improvements are now!
Does he talk about the design of the legal structure for his tax avoidance vehicle that holds the land he has bought up in the UK? lol https://whoownsengland.org/2017/09/19/why-is-james-dyson-hoo... "By July 2017, Farmers Weekly was reporting that Dyson’s empire had grown to 13,355 hectares, or 33,000 acres."

(And I hear the hair products aren't all that.)

Asking a nonagenarian, alive, at the tail end of their life specifically their position on climate change is hardly a "tough question" anyway. It is a question of the future, unless one is challenging them on their past misdeeds (congratulations for berating a 90 something year old), which they will sadly experience very little of. I suspect in every scenario the position of the person asking the question will be a lot more insightful.
While I completely agree with your point; if for a single issue any person is giving regular interviews, putting out press releases, commenting frequently on their social media and funding single issue political campaigns, and in all ways is identifying themselves with said issue, then mentioning it is fair game.

I have googled it, a person on youtube claims to be able to straighten hair with a curler; some kind of magic I think - I am not willing to suffer the pain that watching the video would inflict on my youtube reccomendations to determine the exact form of magic or witchcraft involved.
Just searching for it probably did harm in and of itself. "Because you searched for..." type of stuff

Well it was a terrible example; asking tough questions of a dead person is an incredibly tough thing to do.
