This is being shared, supposedly 59mil people in USA are now prohibited in buying these computer components because they use too much power.
Notice the warning bellow.

EDIT: Just checked the official page and its real. Wow.
I assume this will hit other western countries/Europe as well, so get your computer components while you still can.

On redit I found this

Useless regulation. Has to do with mandatory sleep settings for power efficiency.

It comes down to the hard drive if I’m not mistaken. The SSD model wouldn’t be restricted, but it’s a slightly more expensive and different R12

Thanks for the link.
This is only the beginning, who knows what will happen in the near future. Based on what is happening and how things are developing they could swiftly enforce strict laws.

 

conspiracy theory's are not allowed here

 

Conspiracy is the new normal.

 

imagine what this little introducing will bring in motion from dev side's
or computer tech development in common
but elon or big tech or how its called will be allowed to use...

 

Already here, for years https://ec.europa.eu/info/energy-cl...roducts/mode-standby-and-networked-standby_en

It is only about numbers, not about the principle existence.

 

Agree.
I feared that one day producers would be forced to switch to an i3, lol, not even Reaper can save that throttle, lol.

 

Incredible (but true) thanks to you for the evidence PDF.
How about stopping "Bitcoin mining"?

Here in the EU there is a watt limit for "vacuum cleaners".
That with the PCs will certainly come a few later, at the latest when the
Federal Republic of Germany abandons coal-fired power generation!

 

No wonder they were easy target for the resistance, they were powered by an eco i3. Eco regulations saved the day.

 

Alienware such a rip off

 

Coincidentally every one of those states is blue.

 

Imagine cops demand you hand over your i7. You can keep the i3, because i5 is the minimum for hacking and coin mining, lol.

 

You know, if you buy your first computer and don't know shit about hardware components, go ahead, buy a pre-built system!

But that should actually be the last time you do that. If you don't custom build your own PC the second time around, you should either buy a mac or don't complain later. Cause that's what you deserve for being ignorant to the technology. If you're ignorant and don't utilize that ball on top of your shoulders to figure out a system configuration for your needs, you'll get ripped-off and you deserve it!

 

I have a 8086 512kb ram 20mb hdd for shitcoin mining

 

Unfortunately I live in Commiefornia amungst these zombies and they're leaving in droves to other states, taking their delusional thinking and pathological self-righteousness with them. This 'carbon tax' they're pushing is a control and cash grab, and will impoverish and kill millions - as is intended. We need to put our differences aside and come together now more than ever against this feudalism

 

there was a time everyone could repair his car at home if the one really wanted it , this times are over but at that time everyone would have laughed at you when telling them how its today .....

 

Ask yourself WHY leftists are financed by capitalist billionaires.
And ONLY leftists ...

 

This thread became a political thread, so it's closed now.
