So woke states are now BANNING gaming PCS for power reasons?! Are they preparing something or what?

But electric cars are OK?
For now. Consider:
Step 1: Force everyone to switch to electric cars
Step 2: Restrict the electricity so that you can only go to work and home.
Step 3: No can flee because they have no transportation
Cut off your power if you don't meet a certain social credit score.
They have commercials running with children "daring us to go all electric, faster"
Nothing insidious about that...
Gas
They can already shut down many of the vehicles remotely; even the gas ones.
Great point. You could run a gaming PC for a month with the amount of power needed to charge an electric car. I love my plug in hybrid so I don't want to give them any ideas
Your hybrid is worse for the environment than a gas car, also that money you save on gas goes bye-bye when you have to replace your batteries. Not to mention everyone calls you gay.
LOL I know you probably meant to offend me but I enjoyed your reply very much.
I have no illusions about my car. I have no illusions that I'm saving the planet or that I'm even saving money.
I love my car because it is cool. I love my car because I don't have to pump gas.. All I have to do is plug it in when I get home. In the winter this is a great feature. I only need to go to the gas station about once a month.
My car can also go from 0 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds.
So call me gay all day long.
gay gay gay
while I dust your ass at the traffic light.
:)
For whatever reason, liberals seem to hate plug in hybrids more than gas engines. My guess is that the solution solves a problem ... Typical commutes are all electric thus reducing pollution around cities. You can switch to gasoline mode for road trips. A PHEV like a RAV4 Prime is almost an ideal vehicle for those reasons alone! :-)
Of course, the perpetually angry libtards hate them ... They claim that everyone that drives them never use them in electric mode. I find it amazing that they somehow know this.
I'm hoping to get one soon. I think Primes will be a hell of a lot easier to get later next year. Also, my workplace has plug in stations ... I wouldn't spend a dime to get to and from there on those days I have to be there. Battery replacement costs 5 years from now should be a hell of a lot less too.
I'm really hoping for kits to convert anything to phev ... I'd love to be able to take something like an old VW Beetle or a Honda Element and make it into a PHEV ... there's something slick about taking an older car and bringing it back to life with state of the art technology. I'd love to do that to a muscle car, but I think many fans of those cars would throw bricks at me if I showed up at a meet with an electrified 68 Dodge Charger :-) .
Yes. As an an engineer I have a love/hate relationship with the internal combustion engine. I love the sound most of all.
But as a family man who has dealt with boat motors, lawnmowers, weedwackers, generators all my life I also hate the internal combustion engine. They are unreliable and require too much maintenance.
For a while I had a Mustang GT. Fun car. The sound was phenomenal. Oh what a joy to drive when you were in the mood.
But it had it's own problems which I won't bore you with.
But for everyday life, the plugin hybrid is sweeeeeet. Whisper quiet, smooth. And because of where I live I have very cheap electric.
I rarely go anywhere that I run out of battery and need to use gasoline, but if I need to you can't even tell. It starts the engine and continues on.
I know I sound like an infomercial, but I'm an old guy and there are a few things that really make me happy.
Out of curiosity, what do you mean by too much maintenance? I think they are pretty simple
I have a john deere gator that seems to need a new battery every year and has a radiator leak in the cooling system. So I have to deal with that.
I have a boat with an engine that won't start and I can't figure out why. It's got fuel and spark. Since it is a 1956 model nobody will work on it so it is all on me.
I have a generator for some reason will only keep running if I put blocks on it to keep it tilted.
I have another boat where I let it sit too long and the gasoline in the carb has turned to gel and it is going to be a big pain to get it back up and running.
When I was in the hospital my wife felt she had to mow the lawn. My stupid lawn mower's carb was all screwed up so it was really difficult to start, and I hadn't gotten around to fixing and she damaged her back trying to start it, spend a year out of work and had two surgeries to try and fix it.
So yeah, I think internal combustion engines are a fucking pain the ass. If you don't maintain them they always die and fail.
Electric motors typically require zero maintenance. You don't need fuel stabilizer. You don't need to change the oil. You don't need to change the air filter. You don't need to do anything, and they always start.
I guess if all you do is drive around town that's great. Because I'm sure you only get about 40% of your range when you're dusting people all day. They can be powerful but there are far too many downsides to them being a practical vehicle for 99% of people. Thus making them gay in my opinion. Electric cars will be the future if hidden tech is given to the public but until then they will always be behind gas cars in terms of reliability and cost efficiency.
Allow for the possibility that a fren likes a different car than you.
I know there is a lot of political baggage associated with hybrids and electric cars. I don't care about that. I like my car because it has amazing tech in it that makes it better imho.
But it is just technology. My car isn't made of baby parts or assembled by child slaves or anything.
It is ok with me if you want to think of my car as gay.
But heterosexual me in my gay car will leave you in the dust if we ever meet.
:P
TBH, Id never buy tbat rippoff rig anyways. Freakin i5, SATA drive, 1650 super pssshhhh. I bet it has a konker PSU and that is why its not allowed. No one worth their own paycheck would buy that.
I noticed that! Pretty piss poor GPU and CPU in that box.
Ok, I'm convinced at this point that the white hats have these people at gun point forcing them to do stupid crap to anger people. There's no other explanation for something as stupid as this. They are just trying to anger as many people as possible to make sure every last remnant of the democrat party dies when the audits start coming out. If people are already enraged over stupid crap like this, then they'll be infuriated when they find out the people forcing these laws onto them are illegitimate.
The fact that gaming consoles are not affected could be a deliberate move to associate power-grabbing Dems with console peasantry.
Gaming consoles are allowed cause they already bent the knee to the CCP in their ELUA's
No self-respecting nerd buys pre-built PCs anyway. Build from scratch. Saves tons of money.
They're trying to stop people from mining crypto. First a manufactured chip "shortage", now this.
This chip shortage is a farce. Something's up. A semiconductor fab doesn't shut down. They are more expensive to stop and start vs letting them run. It has to be China fucking with us.
Lmfaooo...
Ppl will just build their own. Fuck name brand.
And Fuck Apple and Microsoft too. Linux is great (as soon as I figured it out).
just get the steam deck, and you can get a nice handheld at the same time just like the Nintendo Switch.
Well that’s extremely disappointing…. Until a moment ago, I thought he was a really smart guy….
He also recently ripped into a guy on a mailing list for promoting 'anti-vax' material.
I just started a job that requires VMware VDI desktops. Funny thing is my boss and I seam to be only people in the whole dang company that can get our camera working. We both run Linux as desktops at home.
And Zoom and WebEx both run a hell out lot better on Linux.
We're on, I'm pretty sure, the same set up. My webcam for meetings maybe works 50% of the time.
Not even, 1650 FFS.
"No more fun in communistic states. Fear. Fear only"
I was reading about this earlier. They have also banned TVS and other "Powerful" electronics. They, of course, have not banned "Gaming Consoles".
I think that’s bc they can control the gaming consoles so much more. I don’t even turn my Xbox on anymore. Last time I did it was all pride and trans rights shit on the home page like wtf?
Jokes on the woke states. Hard core gamers build their own rigs.
If you are buying this computer, you're going to need a SSD hard drive on day one. A spinner HD is waaaaay slower.
You got that right. It seems the only place to get a decent video card is through buying a new system. I have seen some new cards at MicroCenter if you're in the market.
Good luck.
At least you're in Florida. Plus, you still have DeSantis.
Order it anyway. See what happens.
Just order the parts and assemble it, or have a friend in anither state send it to you after you pay them to buy it for you
oi! you got a loicence for that gaming beast?!
What about Nancys 20 ice cream fridges. Oh thats right rules wont apply for her and her friends. Commiefornia.
Guess I'm building "Ghost PCs" and selling them on the black market here in Denver.
I'd call any state where they can't power a PC a faliure.
Didn't Q mention that the DS players were using Gaming computers like PS/Xbox to send messages to try to avoid the the NSA (but the NSA figured it out)? Will PS and Xboxes be one once again their favorite method of communication? Or do they not want the Patriots using it as a means of communication during the coming net black out? I'm not a gamer so, if someone knows more please share.
At least they're getting closer to not being hypocritical about crypto and electric cars.
those base models only have a 550w PSU I think.. for some generalized comparisons
The usual suspects.
Not seeing this in their site
just scroll down to the comparisons https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/gaming-and-games/alienware-aurora-r12-gaming-desktop/spd/alienware-aurora-r12-desktop
Gamers have enough grunt to mine crypto. That might have something to do with it. Many of them mine enough to keep up their hobby.
I don't understand why people buy prebuilt PCs anyways! Its a waste of money and it doesn't take a genius to build a PC. I think the hardest part would be making sure you got your thermal paste right.
Was there an electric reform? Our police reform just went into effect Friday and the police department has apologize to EMTs and firefighters in advance because of the reform. They won't be able to arrive on scene until one of them are assaulted....
Seems odd to me. I had a workstation 3 to 4 times more powerful recently shipped to me in WA state.
However my state is attempting to ban gasoline cars. My city is so isolated that there are few electric cars sold that could reach the nearest large city.
This is outright tyranny.
Probably just those states being based and rejecting Alienware as the shitty product it is. There are much better PCs with better quality and value for cheaper.
LOL. Alienware was bought out by Dell I believe. NUff said.
No mining for crypto.
Total hypocrite. That phone or computer you typed this message on? Has Chinese components. Your internet company you use to connect to the internet? Most likely has ties to China. That web browser you are using? If it’s made by Microsoft, Google or Apple then you are using the product of the devil’s minions.
Stop berating people for having their hobbies during these times, and focus on the real problems at hand. What is yelling at kids to stop playing video games gonna do for us?
Name checks out Faggot!
Going to crank up my 3 monitor desktop on my 1200 W PSU beast and download (via motherfucking torrent invalidating your entire argument) a chinese game and run it in a virtual machine just cause you are an ass.
Go watch some Netflix.
Go fuck yourself retard. Also, most video games are made in America or Japan.
