Welcome to pseudo capitalism, someone makes something interesting, government steps in to “regulate”, and the product is then bastardized by mbas taught to target government money.
Hot damn, it was twice that here in Germany LAST year. Hard to tell what the price is today. Goes up every day and they've already planned a new electricity tax in October.
Yea but it's hard to figure out how much exactly. The thing is there are basically two prices: the price at which suppliers buy on the day to day spot market and the price that customers pay. These massive increases mostly affect commercial customers. They haven't been able to pass most of it on to consumers.
I've tried finding out how much new gas and electricity contracts cost now but there's so much search engine spam from resellers (who don't actually tell you prices) and news articles (which mostly focus on outrageous day to day prices). Even electricity companies don't publicly advertise prices themselves. You have to give them all your data and they'll make you a offer.
Really? Last I checked USD or $ is a tender designation, unless you’re saying that cents is a tender designation not a currency unit used by multiple tenders? Or did you not know the difference?
It's either "$0.49" or 49 cents. "$0.49" formally expands out to "zero dollars and forty nine cents," but nobody would say "zero dollars" so it's just dropped to "49 cents".
"$0.49 cents" would literally be "zero dollars and forty nine cents cents". It's redundant.
So I'd have just gotten an over $1000 electric bill rather than the less than $200 one. Yeah, I don't want to hear a word about the Texas electric grid being bad anymore.
Depends on the wattage of your kids pc. Imma assume they are on average 500 to 600watt, unless they using top of the line rtx 30s, that would increase it to 700watts.
Upcoming vid cards, rtx 40s gonna require up to 1000w power supply.
Eeeeeh, it's probably not too bad. The TDP of a 5700 XT is apparently 225 watts, so that's the absolute maximum it's drawing at max load, but Roblox and Fortnite shouldn't actually make it run that hot. Other than that, you probably use about up to 100W for the CPU (and again, much less in practice), and everything else like drives, mobo, fans etc. is going to be just a few dozen watts on top of that and the PSU is running at less than half load at the max. And that's only when you game, for youtube, browser etc. the whole machine probably draws about 50-80W.
GPU makers use intentionally overblown "required PSU power" in their technical charts because some people skimp on the PSU and buy some cheap piece of shit that says 1000 W but can barely do a half of that before it catches fire, and they don't want people complaining to their tech support saying they plugged their card into a machine with a "400W" (actually 200W) PSU and it keeps shutting down at high load. Well, that and AMD/nVidia have no way of knowing what else is in your machine.
Buy a plug power meter if you want to be sure, they're not expensive and they'll tell you exactly what draws how much as long as it's plugged into a wall socket and not hardwired.
I was stationed sd/coronado, I couldn’t flee fast enough, took over 2 months of terminal leave just to leave California faster and I got out in 2016. I remember I couldn’t even have my ac set overnight it was on a 4 hour set then turned off so I would wake up in the middle of the night covered in sweat.
That's a creative way to ban crypto mining.

The US national average KPH price is $0.16

Aren't Germany's energy costs up like 700% over the last two years? It's something egregious like that.

Again $ is a tender. Cents are a unit. ¥ is a tender that does not use cents… why does this confuse people

Atm, im getting charged 25 cents per kw. =(.

Stop trying. They want to live in a shithole, they have to live with the consequences
