       While travelling last week I came across this in my hotel room, this seems like a fantastic way to have your USB C powered device's chassis float to 120V live if you use it wrong enough in the dark

       @benjojo For once this is one where I'd really want the child-safety thing to be there.

       @novenary North American sockets are easily the worst

       @yassie_j absolutelyCEE 7 is the gold standard imo, BS 1363 is alright, pretty much everything else is an abominationshoutouts to SI32 (israel) in particular for being such a similar shape to CEE 7 but not fully compatible and also most sockets in the wild being of extremely poor quality

       @novenary the one thing that would improve the NEMA standard immediately is some kind of support mechanism for the plug. The European standard does this by having the socket slightly or heavily recessed so the weight of the plug is distributed better and therefore locked in place, and the Australian and UK plug does this by having a third pin interlock with the socket to ensure a solid connectionThe NEMA standard… Just doesn’t? So the plug can easily fall out especially if it is heavy (like a USB charger)

       @yassie_j @novenary tbh I kinda prefer the inline bricks more like what laptops traditionally use instead of the brick having plugs in directly
