Up until now I didn't realize that I should buy high-joule surge protectors. My landlord suspects that I am using too much electricity in my room and that this is overloading the circuit (although the circuit is not breaking?). They are convinced that I need more new network filters and that will solve the problem. It won't, but I think it was necessary to buy better ones to protect my rather expensive entertainment device. It's a bit annoying that their wiring is old and they only have two three-prong grounded outlets, so they're a must. But still. They're comfortable, form-fitting, and perfect for low-power devices or just a few items. I ended up spending a few more dollars and buying longer surge protectors with higher joules.
