generatorprotector worthy of my x-mas tree and multimedia setup.The Rosetta Stone anno 2024.

Thank the gods-- experts!! Is this okay please? It’s a 12 socket, 2USB, Surge Protector with Joule Rating: 3900
.Currently plugged in: Fibre hub and router; small TV; occasionally laptop.
It should specify its max wattage somewhere. But since it’s 3900 joules which is quite a lot for a surge protector iirc, I assume it’s decent quality, so should handle at least ~1800W which should be more than enough for the stuff you plugged into it
Probably supports more power than the shown strip.
Those big plugs for everything take so much room.
That would overload any outlet you stick it into. And even if it doesn’t, it would probably cause the wiring in your walls to get really fucking hot really fast
It’s not real…
The amount of things plugged in doesn’t really matter, it is the current draw that would cause problems.
Yes, I know
I think they covered it with the last word in the description.
This is how you plug in a harpejji
Sega Genesis owners: “At last…”
Behold, my final form:
Everyone’s laughing at the fire hazard, but I would unironically buy this if it was a power strip and not a surge protector because I’m already basically doing this with four separate power strips into a single uninterruptible power supply for all of my retro video game consoles, modem, router, roku, and my television. The trick is basically nothing is ever on at any given time so right now the current output is only 36 watts.
What in the living hell is this?
Okay, I’m actually onboard with those things. It’s usually a cable with a single wall plug on one end and four C13 plugs at the other. So you could plug in two monitors, a desktop PC and a printer, say, with just one socket. They’re a lot neater than having a whole power strip and four cables. I’ve also seen ones that split one C14 into four C13s but I’m not as sure how I feel about those.
You labeled like, 3 things. I’m gonna be sick.
The only label I can see just says “Scart” (oh, and wifi I guess)
Hah! It’s a rats nest that I basically dumped back there the last time I moved and the labels are from a long time ago before I had most of the stuff. It’s not like you get a new retro console every day so I’m almost never back there. That’s kind of the whole point. I plug everything in one time and then I don’t touch it until I move.
You’re killing me, Jessica
I have the 22 port, actual, real version of this. It’s leveled up my cable organization game.
Unfortunately these high capacity power strips always have surge protector functionality in them, and it’s a very bad idea to daisy-chain surge protectors because they can interrupt each other trying to stop the current and all of your stuff will get fried.
Power strips are fine as long as you aren’t exceeding the maximum load, but they never come with as many plugs so that’s how I ended up with four different power strips and some 1 foot extension cords for all those damn wall warts.
All of that is going into the handful of battery backup plugs on the uninterruptible power supply so if I’m ever playing a retro game and the power goes out, I don’t lose my progress! You know how evil games used to be; half the time you can’t even save the damn game lol
I haven’t done an analysis of my power strip / surge protector layout, but my gaming system is just plugged into a UPS with six ports.
The 22 port one is for my server closet. I’d love to show you, but for some reason my client won’t allow me to upload photos.
The original artist who made this is NanoRaptor, btw. You can find them on Mastodon.
Well, devices like that are sold by a Russian design studio since like 2005:

Can I get the male/male suicide cable and plug it into itself?
surely nothing can go wrong
A Christmas Story intensifies
Finally
