It's been almost a decade: Give us more base Google One storage already::Google One has offered the same 100GB of base storage for roughly a decade now, but it's high time that Google stepped up its game.

How do I measure how expensive my computer costs a day to run?

[–] KrummsHairyBalls@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I personally have a kill-a-watt. A device that measures how many kWh it uses.

Then I see how much it uses per day (you can leave it plugged in to test longer, or you can do like an hour and times that by 24), and see how much my power company charges per kW.

It's actually pretty fun. Devices that you think would be pretty expensive to run end up being pretty cheap, and the things that you think would be pretty cheap end up being pretty expensive.

Like my AC unit is cheaper than my NAS. Never would've guessed it.

Your AC IS CHEAPER than your NAS? There's no way, what kind of NAS are you even running??

It's using Intel™

Just an i7-3770K, GTX 980, 8 HDDs, 2 SSDs.

My AC is some fancy new shit. No idea how it works so well and uses less than my NAS. Blew my mind.
