Different ways to power my computer?
I might be going to this college where the dorms won't allow you to have a power strip for fire safety reasons and I can't do that because I need more than two plugs. I do have a honda 2000 watt portable generator but I doubt that's a good idea. Any idea's?
There are splitters for outlets that are quick and easy to install. The most common is a 3 in 1 another is a 6 in 2 that just plug in to the wall outlet. If there's no fire and you remove it whenever you are out of the room who will know?
Then you have a serious problem with that dorm, and probably shouldn't live there. I can understand discouraging overloaded outlets, but not even letting you have a power strip? Impractical at the least, a wanton exposure to electric surges at worst.
And a generator? Yeah, that would not be allowed.
This is the electronic age and you need to have adequate power to use your computer, printer, charge the cell phone, desk lamp… They do not want you to use a refrigerator, pop corn cooker, microwave, slow cooker or any such high amperage devices… If it wuz me having to make this choice -- I would pass on this school as the rules and the room inspections are going to get worse === find another college or live off campus === what it sounds like to me is that those dorm rooms are already a fire hazard…
UPS, Uninterruptable Power Supply.
That will give you a few extra plugs as well as surge protection for you computer.
I seriously doubt they would let you have a generator.
- Prius: Can someone explain the power usage meter & specific difference between power mode and Eco mode? My brother just got me a Prius to replace my old beater Honda and I'm having difficulty understanding the power usage meter (meter on dash with "Charge-Eco-Power") and the difference in the Eco & Power modes. I do understand the charge bit on the meter.
- 2003 Honda CRV-computer scan? Where does the car computer scan tool plug in on my CRV? Is there an online site for the scan codes? This is my first time using a car computer scan tool. I want to learn for myself so I can see what it is rather than to rely on what they tell me.

- Ways to fix broken speed odometer? 2003 Honda Civic Si: thru research I found out it originally came with 15 inch rims, however I bought it with 16's on it. Also it has an 04 RSX tranny 6 speed. AND THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK! I'm getting juice to the adapter for the speed sensor, and bought a brand new sensor thinking that was the case. But nope. Still no speedometer?! Any ideas on other ways to trouble shoot the issue?! Suggestions welcomed!
