>>2552058
The only thing they mention in it's uses that makes any sense is a gaming room. For someone that has a ton of vintage consoles where you'd be only using 2-3 devices at once, like a TV, console itself, maybe a surround sound. This thing looks fucking hilarious though. I kinda want one if it's actually real.

>>2552090
Haha, shit, I only just noticed that it's only rated for 4A but because it's made by chinks they forgot that it's on a 110V plug, so in reality it's only capable of 450W, not 900. You could melt it by plugging in a single vacuum cleaner. I r8 house fires 1.7/100.

I actually have pic related above my desk, and it's nice to be able to plug in chargers, power packs, whatever. Right now I have 7 things plugged in, all low power.

10 or 12 outlets would have sufficed, but this long thing puts them further apart, so it's better for my setup.

OP's crap looks like a joke to me.

>>2552101
My setup is power strips plugged into power strips plugged into power strips all running off of one not properly grounded outlet in my old house. When I flip on my soldering station half of my computer monitors power cycle.

>>2552127
And when I lean over my main monitor to plug something in to my computer I get a nice little shock right on my nipple from the case screws on the back of the monitor.

>>2552131
...but it's all good, because the previous owner threw 20 amp breakers into the panel without ever changing the 15 amp wiring.

>>2552135
>>Why does this breaker keep tripping?

>>2552053
Finally a multiplug for all my power tools, microwave, kettle 5 electric heaters and even a bonus plug so I can daisy chain it.

>>2552101
I have a couple of those in my garage.
I use them for tool chargers.

The shitty circuits inside this thing would cause a fire well before the main cable fails or trips the circuit breaker.

Advertised as 66 AC outlets but I only count 56.
Cometlely useless.

>>2552053

only 900w
Whats even the point? have 66 led lights?

>>2552992
count them again

>>2552053
As long as you don't pull an average of more than 13w per plug its fine. 11w per if you count the USB ports.

So if for some dumb reason you have 66-79 phones that need charging with a standard 5w charger thats peachy. But forget about plugging it full of laptop chargers, fast-chargers, or even most lamps.

learn how current works and what circuit breakers do.

>>2552060

I would open it first to check build quality. usually strips use double slotted screws. pay attention to the tvs mov (transient voltage suppression). and if its paired with a fuse in case it fails short. this would be the component that would fail most of the time but (usually) easy to replace.

Phone farming equipment. Used to power hundreds of phones that generate revenue by clicking on ads all day long.

>>2555397
American circuits dont fuse their plugs like decent british plugs bs1363 do, the distribution breaker isnt sized to protect the device flex.
That's part of the reason for american house fires Epidemic.

Hello, fellow married man

>>2557460
Smaller setups use one outlet per phone using the charger that came with the phone.

Could be okay if it had switches for turning off rows/columns so you could power groups of things at different times. Rather than having to plug/unplug a ton of things, just hit a switch and there you go.

lol wtf

>>2552135
The house I bought had all 30A circuits on mix of 15 and 20A wiring. The inspector fag some how missed this. I mean I did too, how often do you read breaker ratings? But his job is not to miss shit like that.
Anyhow that was a fun afternoon replacing all the single pole breakers.

>>2553254
I'm gonna break into your house and steal your change jar

>>2559230
our inspector missed that our fucking house wasn't grounded. Found this out when blowing insulation in the attic, and the static charge fried the fuck out a bunch of equipment.

Inspectors are like, go ahead, sue me... standard contract states they are liable for AT MOST what you paid for the inspection. Lesson learned - next time I buy, I'm bringing out a fucking electrician.

>>2552053
Only in my first year, but what's the difference between this and having so many receptacles on the same circuit? Even the NEC doesn't have a limit on the amount of receptacles on a single circuit, which makes sense, circuit breakers are rated for certain ampacities, and if you exceed the rating then the breaker will trip, I guess if you have shit breakers, or maybe if the internal wiring doesn't match that of the circuit, then yeah.

>>2552101
got one of these from harbor freight for about $20
using it on a table where all my music equipment is, makes it really easy since so many things use small power bricks and stuff

>>2559836
The wire in the wall is going to be higher gauge then that extension.

It’s not the shittiest job in the world. In some parts of the world they sift through garbage piles trying to find enough of value for their next meal.

>>2562092
Even that sounds cooler. Imagine your glee when you are given access to some really great fresh garbage. Perhaps there are even some industrial solvent bottles with some vapors to huff with your garbage picking bros!

>>2562090

>Express glee, get shot.
>Talk to another nigger during garbage-sifting hours, get shot.
>Tony found a funny hat, gets shot.
These "people" do not have free access to the garbage heap.
That garbage heap is only there because of the shady dealings their local warlord made with some chinks.
It's not a garbage heap, it's their garbage heap, and you sift through it because that's the job you were assigned when the niggers busted down your door to rape your wife, eat your children, and cut off your left foot.

>>2559350
>our fucking house wasn't grounded
Do you mean that the outlets weren't hooked up with a proper earth or was your house put on some sort of hoverfeet?

>>2562325
When I moved into my current home, built in the mid 80s, it wasn't earthed properly. There was an rod outside near the electrical hookups, attached to nothing.

Jesus Christ...

I remember back in 2005 or so, I had a LAN party with 7 people at my house. We only had one outlet in the living room so we used power strips to daisy chain our computer together, and apart from the power going out twice, it actually worked

>>2562691
Snes era consoles do look nicer on a crt, though. Weather it's worth it I guess depends on how much space you have.

>>2562325
No, the person who lived there before coddled the house so much that it had unrealistic expectations about the world around it.

But yes, it was not earthed. I had to pay to sink some copper rods. Also fuck electricians. I had 4 of them out in a row over about a year, and each one said the one before had done a shitty job. The last one swapped out my 15amp breakers for 20 amp because he had them in his truck, and said that 14 gauge wire was rated for 20amp. When I questioned him about that he said in the most condescending tone. “Look, which of us took the electricians tests” or some shit like that.

And he said the higher 20 amp fuses would stop my portable AC from blowing fuses all the time.

>>2562728
> 14 AWG good for 20A?

Maybe if you live in the arctic.
If you run 14 ga. Through an attic or other hot area you have to derate it, and it can no longer handle even 15 A.

>>2552053
>Fire
so it seems

>>2562348
I rent but the house is from the 1860s and isn't properly earthed. I didn't notice until we got a stainless steel dishwasher and there was an almost 100V level difference between it and the faucet. That was fun. Anyway, since all the outlets are connected to a common earth I nigger-rigged it by putting together an extension cord with an extra earth wire that comes out separately and attached it to the copper plumbing with a hose clamp.

>>2562691
How?

>>2562731
>If you run 14 ga. Through an attic or other hot area you have to derate it, and it can no longer handle even 15 A.
Not necessarily. The ampacity table for a copper 14 AWG 90 C conductor is 25 A. That's the number you start with before the derating for ambient temperature and conduit fill. For residential applications, NM-B is fine in the attic because it's 90 C conductors derated to 60 C. That attic temperature is already baked in the 15 A maximum overcurrent protection for 14 AWG.

>>2553254
why did you put a black square over the crt screen?
this is far from the first time Ive seen people do this exact thing when posting their crts,
is it a discord meme or are you really that insecure about the black levels even when the crt is off?

>>2563391
I'd assume it's because he doesn't want his reflection in the pic, but I'm a retard that probably just fell for your bait...

>>2563636
Actually, that sounds legit. He's probably a 40 year old, overweight, balding, onions bearded, bottom bitch who has to hide his toys in the basement. He's triggered by the idea of people seeing him wearing a star wars shirt at his age.

>>2563644

>>2562895
thanks that is good to know. our attic is def 60-70C in the summer. I can't believe what a douche that electrician was. I had originally written him this glowing review on yelp, because he came out right away, was really friendly, younger guy.

It was also interesting trying to find another electrician "body" to comfirm what i was saying. like I called his local union, and no one would talk to me. I was legit trying to be cool about this .He's a young guy, he needs to learn this stuff before he burns someone's fucking house down.

So honestly - what is the best way to get a highly qualified electrician to check out my house? How do I find someone who doesn't suck?

>>2563391
>insecure about the black levels
It's a privacy thing. Same with when people take photos of mirrors. There used to be a whole thread or reddit sub or something of just "people taking photos of mirrors".

>fire
At least the advertising is accurate.

I actually know what these are for, it's too run an illegally telephone exchange which is common in Asia.
You basically plug a hundred mobile phones into it and fix a plywood board to the front to hold the screens, this allows a local mafia to hijack open delivery platforms like uber.

You flood an app with nonexistant users on a very local level, a brothel might use one of these to bomb tinder or a local chat network might be bombed with proximity chat spam on weixin.

>>2563728
>thanks that is good to know. our attic is def 60-70C in the summer.
The temperature is the temperature rating of the electrical insulation, not the ambient temperatures. More current means more heat in the conductor. Smaller conductors at the same current run hotter.

>>2563759
>illegally telephone exchange
I get what you're talking about ( >>2553212 ) but what makes this an "exchange"

>>2552053

They protect their own. Somebody has to do something criminally retarded to get any action, and even then they'll stonewall everything.

The Chinese burn cheap, low quality, lignite "brown" coal in power plants with little/no filtration.
In fact, they burn so much coal (over 4 BILLION tons per year) that they account for over 50% of the entire world's coal consumption.

This is to make electricity super cheap, all so they can churn out endless shitty consumer items at the world's expense.
