900W/4A
Beyond 4 Amps being the most insanely low rating I've ever seen on a power strip, 900 Watts would actually be 8 Amps at the 110 Volts dictated by the North American plug on the cord.
panel circuit breaker: am i a joke to you?
The real one is a bit smaller

More of a circuit breaker tripper but yeah, not good regardless

Naw that's this guy:
The breaker, I would suspect, isn’t rated to protect that flimsy little cord this thing plugs into the wall with
Finally, a power strip that will let me plug in all of my retro gaming systems.
Me when my place burns down:
It could have only three outlets and still be shitty.

12-14 USB ports? You could just count them rather than guess.
They're not guessing, they're keeping their picking options open. Sometimes it'll be vendor A, which makes it either 12 ports. Sometimes vendor B, which makes it either 13 ports. Sometimes vendor C, which makes it with 14 ports. Lol

It's like that game where you add elastics around a water melon, but more high stake. Just one more appliance!

In case this is not obvious: they are great for Internet cafes to plug in many low power devices. E.g. a bunch of laptops, USB-C outlets and devices that will not run simultaneously. Also it's got a current protector just in case.
No, it would be horrible for that because it is in one location and would become risky any time it was busy. Plus most of the outlets would be blocked by nearby power plugs.
If it was intended for a large number of low draw stuff through USB then having a ton of USB plugs would make sense.
There is a reason that businesses of that type add lots of permanent outlets to plug power strips into.
In case it's not obvious, this is photo shopped.
The real one (warning, Amazon link) has 10 wall-wart outlets, 12 "regular" outlets, and 6 USB ports. It's also rated for 1875W/15A like most household circuits in the US.
Still pretty sketch for under thirty bucks, TBH.
I own it. No fire yet.
Kinda looks like soulsand, with all these faces
