If you read correctly the first time, you would notice that I said my landlord had asked me about the situation once already, but in regards to power usage. So I am already involved. I was not being nosey. That's just your attitude bei

Except they aren't my neighbor. It's a completely different household. As I stated pretty clearly... "My landlord recently told me about his other tenants" So, I have been involved via the landlord asking my opinion due

No, I don't know if he does for sure. But what I do know is the landlord said the fella is having a hard time not tripping the breaker with his new rig, and that their power consumption went up ever since he got the rig. So I figure th

Except it was made my business when the landlord asked my opinion on why their house was using so much power, and he told me they had a high end gaming rig, multiple fish tanks, and Air conditioners going.

Apparently enough to cause resistive heating in the connection, which is causing the connection to melt and potentially cause a fire. Doesn't matter how many watts. All that matters is that there is resistive heating happening.

Right. So when the house somehow burns down and it turns out the fella's super rig had one of the first 4090's; am I supposed to go "Oops. Sorry landlord. I knew this GPU had issues, and you asked me how much power these sort

I'm proposing the difference between the house full of 5 people potentially burning down, over the possibility of saving them all that trouble by letting the landlord know that the newest GPU's have a problem with their cabling if

My landlord recently told me about his other tenants have 600$ power bills before swapping to a locked rate. I wonder if the lad with the epic gaming PC is running a 4090. Should I tell him this is a possibility if he is?

I'm upvoting you, because calling it disturbing really doesn't make sense unless egotism is involved. IMHO. If someone can explain why it's not just egotism, please go right ahead. Otherwise, it really does seem like it. To m

Honestly, if what they though Twitter was before was fine to advertise on, despite the lack of actual coherent moderation; then we are all blessed by the lack of those advertisers. And if that makes Elon panic, then we are blessed doubly in

Not really, since the other poster was saying Elon would be axing things like moderation. I'm saying essentially it doesn't matter if he does or doesn't, because it barely exists at all anyways. So axe away I guess, cause the

Except they still charge the same anyways, or more. I'm with Telus up here in Canada. You pay the same old rates as per the usual for 5G speeds. If however you go with their subsidiary (Koodo) using the older infrastructure, you can pa

Which is why I'm probably going to ditch this site as far as commenting goes. I'll still use it to see what people think, but that's about all its good for in the comments section now; just like Reddit, Twitter, and others. B

downvotes cause you to be essentially a lite-shadow ban if they happen enough, especially if in a flagged thread/comment. You get rate limited, which means only 5 comments per day allowed. Max. So, sorry, but while I didn't downvo

Fair enough. I suppose I should have said "new to me". Also, I stopped using MSI when their motherboards weren't properly supporting Piledriver/Steamroller AMD cpus power and thus thermal requirements. At least, on some

I guess there is a misunderstanding here. Yes, if I own the VPN in question and no one else has any access to it, or maintains it; then there is no issue. But I was talking about paid service VPNs. The kind you see being advertised on YouTu

OH, for sure. I agree. But that is what most people tend to do when they do this sort of thing. Even the 'furnace' they had was just a bonfire essentially in a enclosed can with vents. And that was specially bought from a company
