TV, game consoles, most computers (assuming you aren’t mining Bitcoin or something) are basically a rounding error compared to HVAC, and water heating.

- TheRealDunkirk 3y agoIt was a lot worse in the 90's, but modern electronic devices sip the juice. I bought a meter to put on an outlet to measure my amperage, and my whole office: Mac, PC, work laptop, cable modem, router, and 1 access point uses 1.5 amps. If I run a AAA game on my PC, it ramps up to about 3a. People who point to electronic energy usage need to leave my clock cycles alone, and either direct their anger towards the world's elite, with their private planes and yachts, or just shut up completely. And Microsoft can suck my nuts with their default settings for power savings. Why would I buy a sports car and let someone keep a software governor on the engine?
