That massive spike of 50c/kWh at the left looks tiny compared to today even though that’s already insanely expensive

      I get the joke, but in contrast to heating, you can easily just… not run demanding games while the electricity is insanely expensive for a day.

      What do you mean? I can run my 4090 to heat the house instead of my furnace

          I was slightly joking but not completely, my office is above my garage so it get much colder during winter if I leave the door shut, so I just fire up Cyberpunk for an hour and my whole room is superheated. It’s pretty wild

      I kept the main room of my condo warm for a winter by having two rigs running 24/7 while I didn’t have a baseboard because I was doing renovations!
