30 watts average for Starlink
Estimating 15 watts for the two Deco units plus the Netgear range extender (acting as Ethernet bridge to protect from lightning.)
About 100 watts for the HTPC with three usb tuners.
Between 70 watts (black) and 380 watts (white) on the old Plasma.
All running on four AGM batteries charged by solar, falling back to mains when battery drops to 20%
I’m using an old Dell i5, but it also has three USB TV tuners and runs NextPVR with comskip.exe - it sees daily use at the main TV in the house.
It’s power hungry at about 100 watts so I have it and the plasma TV hooked up to AGM batteries and a combined charger inverter which fills them when the sun is shining.
Not Sandisk. Had several just die with no recovery possible.
Kingston had a few failures but probably OK as a cheap one.
Only had one Samsung crash, so mostly sell those despite the premium these days.
