I have a client that sells Gaming computers on the internet. New CA energy consumption laws will require 12 USB ports for his computers to make them legal. One computer of each model must be submitted for testing & put on a approved list.

Maybe your client can provide a link to the requirement for computers to have 12 USB ports.

Possibly related to this previous thread?

Can't Sell a Dell Gaming Computer in Calf. - Uses too Much Juice

Systems with an expandability score of >690 are exempt. Points are assigned at to various ports and added up. Each PCIe x16 slot is worth 75 points and each USB 2.0 port is worth 5 points for example. Page 19 explains it: Link.

Just wait until they tell you that you cannot have an air conditioner that will keep your house at less than 80F in the summer or a heater that will do better than 60F in the winter, or a TV that is "too big", or.....

See how this goes?

I used to joke if I even won Powerball I was going to reinvest and open a bog box store in Yuma, AZ just across the border from California. Basically stock and sell items prohibited in California; standard capacity magazines, plasma flatscreens, incandescent lightbulbs, gas cans with spouts that actually work, etc. Now I can add gaming computers to the list.

His CA specific computers are going to have 12 USB ports to meet CA energy standards. The manufacturers' he uses will be building models for his CA customers only & increases the retail price about $120.

Man, I feel safer already.

Of course, I’m Sure the government will be allowed to have all the computers they want in CA.

Everybody knows that USB ports consume free carbon.
The more you have, the less carbon there is.

Why do people fight against this science?

California is a beautiful state, aesthetically. But their sure are a lot of fucktards that reside there.

The best way to avoid having to take money away from “feel good” programs and invest in infrastructure, is to just extort/tax the crap out of any industry that sells a product that consumes power or water. Tax the manufacturers, fine your citizens, whatever it takes to keep from actually fixing the problem.

I’ve been out of Comie-fornia for a year now, and It’s the smartest thing I’ve ever done.

It looks more and more like “The Hunger Games” out there every day.

As long as the American California MORON puts up with this nonsense and complies, it will continue.

Just build a computer your self with "Ghost" parts - untraceable.

Bacon is going, too.

You get the communist shithole you demanded.

There's plenty of electricity, the welfare bill is just to high to afford it.

Just waiting for the San Andreas fault to get off its ass and live up to its Hollywood reputation.

California will eventuality ban all the “high powered things” except for the King Kong dildos. Those will most likely be grandfathered in and placed into an almost protected status.

I suppose you could call me the perpetual optimist with regards to California. I believe eventually...on one glorious day California will find a way to unfuck itself. I truly believe this.
