For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

I don't consider anything like this a "surge protector," just a power strip.

Any equipment I actually give a rat's ass about in that respect is connected to a UPS anyhow.

Not worth the risk IMO but to each their own. I had a cheap surge strip melt so I'm particularly paranoid (thankfully I was at my desk when it happened)
