where is my input lag coming from ?

Everything about latency. This section is mainly user/consumer discussion. (Peer-reviewed scientific discussion should go in Laboratory section). Tips, mouse lag, display lag, game engine lag, network lag, whole input lag chain, VSYNC OFF vs VSYNC ON, and more! Input Lag Articles on Blur Busters.

Supraharmonics bypass the online ups because the ups still uses your houses ground, unless you unplug from wall and use battery. You have to try a powerbank
we re so doomed 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Indeed. I noticed you said you live in Eastern Turkey, so is there not many people living there compared to cities? I ask because I'm from a coastal part of the UK where not many people live, I read that cities have better methods of getting rid of the electromagnetic issues due to more transformers and substations

It's not true that it provides interference free power an average UPS can't do that. If you open up a UPS, you'll find toroids in there too, but even if you disconnect it and run on battery power, that won't help either. A power bank won't help at all, no matter how much you try.

You have to move and get a completely new fresh setup, FULL setup. Depending on how dirty the electricity is, it can permanently degrade the hardware. This doesn’t happen with everyone but it does happen.

It’s a misconception that the hardware will be damaged. It won’t be damaged, at most, the capacitor will be charged with dirty power.
