We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

Power usage

I deserved that one.

I meant how many watts does your HTPC pull at idle vs. load?
 
load is around 30w.(playing a blu-ray). I would guess loading up both cores of the processor might make that go higher, but it's an HTPC, and this is not it's purpose.


Idle is like 15 or 13, i can't remember honestly. I do still have the kill-o-watt.
 
My main HTPC that I just redid is idling at 60w and loading at 70w. It just seems high. Might have to do with my crappy old power supply though.
