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.

    Yeah, i hate that filthy feeling.

    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
