dirty power and surge protection

Been doing some reading on dirty electricity, namely how to make my power supplies and graphics cards last longer with very dirty rural electricity.
I have been using my laptop until I can build a new desktop, but I have noticed that every time my ac kicks on, I hear a fast buzz or click through my hardwired headphones.
As the laptop is on a decent surge protector, this worries me because I am not sure if my hardware is even being protected, and I'll lose another build to this BS.
What does /g/ use for surge protection? What is, and how can I eliminate the 'click" I hear through my audio when the air conditioning clicks on? Happens with headphones and stereo.

1050Ti is $150
670 goes for about $120 online

So you expect nvidia to price the 1050ti based on the ebay prices of the 670?

I already searched for this issue on multiple other sites and found no help. I did read the sticky.
This error is holding my laptops browser hostage refusing to let me do anything. I ran malwarebytes immediately and removed 6 adware things called uni blue.
Wtf is going on?

yeah what the hell happened. it used to be the fastest until chrome came along. now it's slow and its interface and rendering looks outdated. I'm hoping for it to get good enough to use as my main browser, fuck jewgle

The fuck? Chrome is always faster for me, and I'm not running the most amazing specs in the world.

I'm using Brave now and it's very fast.

Hey /g/, not completely tech-related but recently applied at a Micro Center and passed the two interviews. Now just waiting on results for bg and drug test. Still haven't signed any papers yet. I know they have to push getting emails and warranties but I was just wondering if anyone here has any experience working at one. Lots of people rating it good/bad so it seems like an even split on glassdoor/indeed.

If you know how to discern dubious websites/programs you need no antivirus other than yourself. For normies, just load them up with Malwarebytes and tell them to run it whenever they think they got a virus.

Is 2017 available in stores?
Should I already contact my vendor?
