I’ve used that type you see on the left there. They’re awful and dangerous.

It’s better to bring an adapter specifically made for the plug you have and the sockets where you’re headed.

When flat They’re mostly fine, but those “universal” ones have so little grip in them to cater to all plug types, that when wall mounted, the plug usually is left hanging half-inserted, exposing the live conductors.

They also allow you to plug in a grounded Schuko Plug (Its the german one) without connecting the earth, cant get much more dangerous than that. I think the french plug also can be plugged in but it doesnt connect the earth either.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it’s too interesting, it doesn’t belong. If it’s not interesting, it doesn’t belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh… what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don’t spam.
