Power goes out about almost an hour ago, except for some lights and stuff, very weird. So we’re going through the motions of flicking the power switch at the side of the house and everything, and afterwards Mum tells us we need to turn everything off at the power point, and so everything is slowly working but my stuff. Mum comes in and sees my cords and then starts to say that the reason why everything went out might be because of me. I get annoyed and defensive because she instantly tells me that it could be my fault, and she then gets snarky and annoyed when I tell her that it can’t just be me and she says she’s not accusing me. Even though she never said this to my sister and only said this after she saw my stuff and went “Jesus Christ!”.
Anyways everything starts turning on again, awesome great, lights are working. Mum goes back to bed and turns on one of the power points in her room and guess what happens… everything goes out again. We find the culprit and its one of mum’s sockets/power points that is causing the issue. So fuck me right?
Even if it HAD been you, that’s not a fuggen fault on your end, that’s shitty wiring that can’t handle normal use, so wtf would she have accomplished anyway? It’s not goddamn 1960 any more, the chances of you overloading bar running five power saws simultaneously is nigh impossible
Like I think my bedroom only has one power outlet but that’s because they never give non-main bedrooms more than one power outlet. But yeah I’m mostly using my computer in my room. But yeah it felt very accusatory and ugh. Glad to know it wasn’t actually me though.
Most gpos run 10a max - and i have a 4-port one in my office that i GUARANTEE runs more kit than you do, and i ain’t nowhere near tripping. Hell, even a kilowatt pc power supply at 240v is still just over 4amps, and that is rare. And if you overload it’s an IMMEDIATE trip, not a ‘oh we don’t know what did it’.
It ain’t you. Waking up finding something’s tripped your safety switch is a fault
I feel very vindicated.

What Taleya said. Have you got block fuses or the wire sort?
