We have talked about this before but in case you haven't, bitcoin miners have been siphoning lots of electricity. Even though a couple of bitcoin mining operations have been busted over the few years, the government reported that there has been an estimated loss of electricity for more than RM2.3 billion.

Can you imagine if those miners are using RTX GPUs? Luckily, these aren't. It seems that a group of individuals have been mining bitcoins and not only that, they also bypassed the electricity reading which costs Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) more than RM8 million losses.

Based on a statement by Mark Gurman, it seems that Apple’s MagSafe Duo Charger is able to achieve up to 14W per device while requiring a separate 27W USB-C power adapter that’s sold separately. Not only that, but if you were to hook up a 20W USB-C power adapter to the Apple MagSafe Duo Charge, it's able to achieve charging speeds of up to 11W.

Based on a statement by BERNAMA, it seems that all households with electricity usage of less than 300kWh will be eligible for free electricity for the month of April, May, and June of 2020. But that’s not all, households with electricity usage of more than 300kWh will get an RM77 rebate off their electric bill for the months mentioned above.
