Question about calculation of watt usage for devic

lemonkaki — Fri, 01 Dec 2023 01:24:14 +0800

Hi Sifus...

I think I posted this before but I need to clear my head of this.

Currently I am using 2 power extension from 1 wall socket -
Wall Socket >>> Power Extension 1 (4 slots) >>> Power Extension 2 (6 slots)
Both are branded.

I am planning to replace both power extension with 1 single good power extension with 8 slots
I've done some research need sifu or any pro to help understand if this is the correct calculation.

Came across this post, let's say my single wall power socket can support up to 4370 watts.
am I supposed to find out all of my device consume how much watts while they are turning on and just add up together ? If it did not reach 80% of the max capacity then I am good enough ?

Below are some of the sample of my devices ...

This speaker uses total 48Watts ?

this air purifier uses 23Watts?

This monitor uses 56Watts?

Nintendo switch uses 6W ?

Add up all from above and some unamed device -

Speaker - 48W
Air Purifier - 23W
Monitor - 56W
Monitor 2- 30W
Switch - 6W
Desktop with i5 12400f + 3060TI (from online, avg is 150w+200W) - 350W
Anker 20W Charger - 20W
Standard laptop - 100W
Hair Dryer - 2200W

So total is 633W + 2200W from hair dryer which only use for few minutes a day.

so my max usage will be 2833 Watts which is more than enough ?

Hi all,

Currently I only have 1 wall socket in my room and I've been using 2x surge protector (belkin) to connect (daisy chaining).
Due to one of them spoiled recently I am planning to replace with another one. (on off switch not working)

I am planning to use just 1 x surge protector with 8 socket.
Can anyone recommend me one or it is okay to use ?

I'll also list out my current device -

i. CPU with 3060ti and i5
ii. 2 x monitor (24 and 27)
iii. phone charger
iv. Air purifier (not sure how to check this , read from online Voltage/frequency (V, Hz) 220 - 240, 50/60 )
v. Bluetooth speaker
vi. Nintendo Switch
v. Occasionally hair dryer or vacuum cleaner (i know both of these draw the most power but only use occasionally and not long)
vi. laptop

KWSP account 2 for renovation

lemonkaki — Mon, 07 Aug 2023 13:16:09 +0800

So I bought a house together with my 2nd half on 2021 (S&P signed on late 2021). I've would like to apply for kwsp account 2 withdrawal for my house renovation. May I know what is the correct process?
I've been told that they dont allow u to withdraw for renovation, but if for other method of withdrawal they wont question how you use the money. So thought of asking if anyone been through this before ?
This is also before I go to kwsp and ask since I already know they wont allow withdrawal for renovation.

Is there still any good phone with <RM1.5k range ?

lemonkaki — Tue, 27 Dec 2022 13:42:36 +0800

Basically as title.
I've been using OnePlus brand since the start of my touch screen smartphone journey. Oneplus 1 from 2014 then 2017/2018 One Plus 5 until now. I know my phone is time soon, battery drain, laggy sometimes, and sometimes even hung and restart.

Wanna hear some recommendation. I don't mind trying different brand as the latest oneplus phone are getting crazy expensive. From 1.2k to 2.1k and now 3k+..

My usage is just average, need good screen for youtube, decent speaker for music, decent processor to support my games (even my old oneplus5 can play genshin impact, so I think newer phone shouldn't have any problem ? lol)
I have done some searching, what I found so far are these few to my knowledge.

-google pixel 5a
-one plus 8T
-one plus 2 nord CE
