  • No problem, thanks for being receptive!

    Modern day breakers are better about failing safe than they used to be, but… still not an intended use, and all it takes it one bad roll of the dice and everyone gets to have a Bad Day. Hence me viewing them, much like you, as things Not To Mess With Unless Needed. :P


  • Just so you know, breakers are not on/off switches. Turning them on/off like that is awful for them, they degrade every time they’re tripped. The result of it is, best case, everything on the circuit eventually get destroyed because it’s doing weird shit to the electricity going through it because of a bad connection. Worst case scenario is that it can no longer trip when it should and your entire neighborhood burns down.

    A massive, massive astroturfing campaign Epic Games paid for in hopes of tarnishing Valve and Gabe Newell’s reputation to try and bolster their failure of a shop ecosystem.

    Unfortunately, it worked, because there are people on the net who don’t remember the and days before steam, or even the initial versions of steam that people had Actual problems with, and not just made up ones.

    I take issue with Americans taking their business to foreign governments that are happily and gleefully accelerating the corruption of said domestic powers into the exact behavior that is causing Americans to want to shop elsewhere.

    It’s going “I dislike how my government is treating me, so I’m going to support the people that are contributing to why my government is treating me that way.”
