Baku@aussie.zone â¨5⊠â¨days⊠agoThanks, I appreciate the intention/sentiment, but I do know how energy ratings and usage works. The porty doesnât have any stickers (pretty sure itâs at least a decade old, and whatever adhesive was holding the sticks on had long since disintegrated by the time I got it)
Watts are also just the product of amps x volts. Iâve got a smart plug in one of my boxes that I could use to determine how many V/A itâs pulling and then work out wattage based on that, but I donât think it really changes much. Iâm gonna use it anyway on the days like today where the weather is a bit difficult, even if probably costs about $10-15/day to run (my assumption based on yesterdayâs cost and running time). The âbury your head in the sand and deal with the fallout laterâ approach, if you will

Oh sorry, didnât mean to explain thing you already knew! I often think back to how I unknowledgeable I was at your age and wish someone had helped me out. So if I ever mention things you already know, just ignore!

All good SC, I do appreciate the help anyways
Fwiw I only know all of this stuff because Iâm quite the nerd and fuck around with electronics. Nobodyâs really ever taught me all of these things, I just wanted to go find it all out for myself
