Blue State coalition (CA) banning energy inefficient gaming PCs

[Deleted member 194275]

pretty sure this was debunked
go to Elons twitter
the banking system, precious metal mining and many other things use a lot more energy than crypto

there are 1.2 billion banking accounts, 1.1 credit cards and machines all around the world to accept those credit cards

You are really comparing this consumption with crypto, that have less than 40 million users and you can't go out buy even a single bread with it?

One Bitcoin can buy about 20,000 loaves of bread

It takes two dollars to buy one loaf

Is that bitcoin called jesuscoin?

Just because other things might use even more energy does not mean crypto mining is energy efficient. Even undervolted, running a hundred GPUs 24/7 adds up quick.

OK, that made me laugh.

yeah I don't think it's efficient but it is just not as bad it was made out to ben even Elon is saying he might accept it for Tesla now again after he got BTFO on twatter after he said he wouldn't

ah yes, biden passed all those laws. Yup... Biden as president of the United States in 2021, passed laws that took effect in 2016 as initiative for his america.
I guess he's a time traveler now isn't he?

Valwinz should spend all his money buying up as many shitty pre-builts as he can, that would totally own the libs.

Tl;dr
It's difficult to get a wasteful enough setup. Most components sold are CEC compliant. They really more care about wasted power when the system is not in use.

The law only cares about system inegrater manufactures who are large scale, such as Dell, Lenovo etc.

Boy, oh boy - am I happy to live in a country where my electric bill is (at least for now) my own business. When building desktop rigs "efficiency" is one of my lowest priorities - gaming in and out of itself is an inherently inefficient form of entertainment, you're just watching pretty colours on a screen that change when you press buttons, and you're chomping through hundreds of Watts while you're doing it, with the end result being amusement and nothing else. Can't wait until my new build is complete, it'd make the Californian authorities have a stroke. If all goes well, my cooling alone will consume a little under a kilowatt in order to keep the thing subambient for absolutely no practical reason whatsoever - that's the kind of waste I like.

Because what has the Earth ever done for you, right?

All nature does is try to kill us every single day, screw the Earth. My Ryzen wants to run at single-digit temperatures, and if that means that it has to be hooked up to an R134a-based recirculating chiller and held in a controlled atmosphere dehumidified by a peltier-based dehumidifier unit that pumps moisture out of the airtight enclosure to prevent condensation then damn it, so be it. The Earth won't mind my couple kilowatts a year of going full blast, I can make up the difference with my LED lighbulbs.

If you all were to just get solar panels like I did, you could be like me and game with a clear conscience.

My conscience is very clear, I feel no guilt. I pay kaching to the electric company, the electric company gives me the magical electrical pixies that make things go brr. How they make'em is up to them, they can be as green as you want them to be, I'm going to use my energy, that I paid for, however I want. Besides, I can't throw a rock in this country without hitting a windmill - we're good.

I said that as a joke, mocking what your response was, showing how easy it is to just name a party and state.

If I want to have electric wires hooked up to my nipples and generate electricity all the way down to my nut sack then I should be free to use as much electricity I want without guilt.
