PC is now a dead platform. What a blow, in addition to having no exclusives and begging consoles for ports it now is being  banned across the country and soon the world 

 

Good to see law makers recognise that PC is bad for society and start to ban them from sale

California :D This is only the beginning, its only a matter of time before they start widening the net and banning more electronics.

It's not about electronics but rather energy usage and emissions.

They started with vehicles and slowly eliminating big output engines.

Now they are going against high usage electronics.

You won't be able to own or do anything in that crap state at this rate.

Unless you pay an extra  fee. They want to regulate energy so they can charge a premium if you want to go over the limit.

It's just idle power consumption that needs to meet a specific requirement and OEMs run crappy, inefficient PSUs that make their power draw higher than the components require.

 

This shit was known to be coming for years, too. You'd have to be a Daily Mail reading moron to actually fall for Dell's bullshit on this when they dick over consumers with proprietary PSUs that are energy inefficient to increase profits and had years of notice that they'd have to reign it in a bit.
