We call it the firestarter 3000

[-] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 1 month ago

I mean, I'm sure the device itself is built like shit and a fire hazard that way but just plugging too much stuff in will (ideally) throw a breaker before it starts a fire. It's what the breakers are there for, after all. Before anybody says anything about it, yes an individual outlet can take the whole load of the circuit, precisely because of silly shit like this.

That last part just saying Fire is the funniest part

[-] Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 47 points 1 month ago

Everyone's laughing at the fire hazard, but I would unironically buy this if it was a power strip and not a surge protector because I'm already basically doing this with four separate power strips into a single uninterruptible power supply for all of my retro video game consoles, modem, router, roku, and my television. The trick is basically nothing is ever on at any given time so right now the current output is only 36 watts.

You labeled like, 3 things. I'm gonna be sick.

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The only label I can see just says "Scart" (oh, and wifi I guess)

Hah! It's a rats nest that I basically dumped back there the last time I moved and the labels are from a long time ago before I had most of the stuff. It's not like you get a new retro console every day so I'm almost never back there. That's kind of the whole point. I plug everything in one time and then I don't touch it until I move.

I have the 22 port, actual, real version of this. It's leveled up my cable organization game.

[-] Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Unfortunately these high capacity power strips always have surge protector functionality in them, and it's a very bad idea to daisy-chain surge protectors because they can interrupt each other trying to stop the current and all of your stuff will get fried.

Power strips are fine as long as you aren't exceeding the maximum load, but they never come with as many plugs so that's how I ended up with four different power strips and some 1 foot extension cords for all those damn wall warts.

All of that is going into the handful of battery backup plugs on the uninterruptible power supply so if I'm ever playing a retro game and the power goes out, I don't lose my progress! You know how evil games used to be; half the time you can't even save the damn game lol

Ah yes, for my 66.... 13w? Devices.

I guess a bunch of LED strings and maybe a phone charger (low-speed 5v 3a only).

Edit: also, what is 12-14 usb charging ports? You're not sure how many there are? Does it vary from package to package?

[-] jqubed@lemmy.world 38 points 1 month ago

The 12-14 USB ports is my favorite part, like they couldnโ€™t be bothered to count, or it varies.

[-] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 month ago

I love how the cord is only 6" long, so you've either got to bolt this monstrosity to the wall immediately beside the outlet, or plug it into another extension...

I own one. They're fantastic; you just have to realize what you have. You can't plug in a computer, three laptops, two monitors, and a space heater.

Most of the stuff I'm plugging in is a few watts.

[-] Zwiebel@feddit.org 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Space heater 1500W, PC 500W, 3 laptops 360W, 2 monitors 100W = 2460W

With our superior european 230V outlets you can in fact easily plug all that into one power bar :D

Yeah, this is a solver for the oodles and oodles of devices that all insist on using their own dedicated 5v wall wart.

I'd do some research if I were you. I don't like plugging anything into a surge protector without a solid warranty that covers equipment damage and I've never heard of SUPERDANNY..

[-] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

I don't consider anything like this a "surge protector," just a power strip.

Any equipment I actually give a rat's ass about in that respect is connected to a UPS anyhow.
