https://nichegamer.com/2021/07/27/high-end-gaming-pcs-banned-in-six-us-states-after-california-energy-bill-limits-sales-on-high-performance-pcs/
US States California, Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Vermont, and Washington have banned the sale of high-end gaming PCs under a new energy bill. A screenshot of the disclaimer spread on Twitter. While some had worried about the bill being an issue for game development studios and AI researchers, this regulation only seems to affect personal computers. Servers, workstations, and the aforementioned gaming consoles seem to be unaffected. --- Reminder: On March 2nd, 2021, Texas removed mask mandates and allowed 100% capacity for businesses. ...

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/12/california-adopts-first-energy-efficiency-standards-for-pcs-in-us/
On Wednesday Californias Energy Commission (CEC) announced that it would adopt new energy efficiency rules for computers and monitors sold in the state, requiring computers to sip less power when theyre not being used and requiring monitors to be built using high-efficiency screen technology. It's about Dell selling garbage with high idle power consumption, not about banning gaming PCs. Stop overreacting. --- FGO NA ID: 973,333,976 just an idiot passing through ... Copied to Clipboard!
