For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

We call it the firestarter 3000

[–] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 3 weeks ago (7 children)

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.

dorm, gaming room, fire.

Hmmmmmm. One those is more likely to happen then the rest.

Surprisingly appropriate use of "then"

[–] nulluser@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

Grammatical whiplash.

Dorm > gaming room > fire

That last part just saying Fire is the funniest part

[–] Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 47 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

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 12 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

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

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

[–] Jessica@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

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 39 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

The 12-14 USB ports is my favorite part, like they couldn’t be bothered to count, or it varies.

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 14 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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...

It also has 71 outlets instead of 66 lol

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.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 9 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (7 children)

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

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 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

Well since college dorms ban portable heaters, I guess this will have to do... 🤷‍♂️

And that one fat bastard plug will still cover 9 ports around it.

Can I get the male/male suicide cable and plug it into itself?

The original artist who made this is NanoRaptor, btw. You can find them on Mastodon.

Nice! I bet you could plug like six wall warts into that thing.
