the one from that one tom scott video
Literally anyone else than the Chinese.
Chinese plugs are either almost identical to Australian plugs (earthed) or similar to US/Japanese plugs (unearthed).
This is best plug (image). Cable goes away from the socket, it is grounded, it stays in and it is easy to take out and you can't short circuit it. Third world American ones are shittiest one.
UK > France > the cute smiley one
UK plugs because they have the built-in fuse
Bongs must have a extra fuse for made in Britain electronics.
kek worse design, but they're yuros so it's expected
Better, if you have something important, you fuse it, but it's hard to change if you need to. Not with bong plugs, also protects from electrical fires that wouldn't trip the beaker, they're also earthed and I can't stand getting electrocuted whenever I touch my laptop/stove and it makes my headset unusable because of the buzzing with no one being able to hear me on VoIP
anything with ground reference
The ones on the left look pretty good
The UK plugs have some nice features but dear god they're gigantic. I can't imagine having every plug filled on something like a power strip or a UPS.
>I can't imagine having every plug filled on something like a power strip
I have multiple extension leads that are fully plugged in. I don't think they take up that much space but I've not seen what an American one looks like.
I have this UPS and almost every single plug is filled, it's messy even with small US plugs. According to my tape measure it's about 11.5 inches tall, or 29 centimeters.
Don't US plugs have the cable running out in the same direction as the socket? Most UK plugs have cables that down from the plug.
Yeah it's almost like everything in the UK has it's own transformer.
That's the best part, it's almost completely arbitrary. I have plugs in like your pic, wall-warts, straight out, and even some angled ones (pic). Although most do just point straight out. This pic is from Technology Connections' video on plugs.
That looks absolutely moronic. AC adapters here might run their cables up instead of down or away from the socket (phone chargers usually do this) but the principle here is to save as much space due to how oversized the plugs are already.
Without ground American plugs (like what you might see on a lamp) are just two strips of metal with a fairly thin resin coating. There's almost nothing there. As an American I have a hard time imagining using UK plugs for lamps. That just seems crazy.
Living in Denmark is hell.
>Everything sold internationally comes with standard Euro plug
>Have to use converter for everything in order to get ground
>Many buildings don't even have ground at all
AU and UK look dope, EU looks easily breakable.
How the frick does EU look more breakable than US and AU with their thin legs.
I've never seen that type of plug it looks like a shitty travel adapter.
American GFCI does it best.
That's the old us standard before they added the ground pin, baka
The US one is actually what they sell in the Philippines. Filipinos do not ground their home wiring.
Brutal, one time I got one of those 2 pins to 3 pin adapters for my computer and I almost fricking died, do Filipinos just not use guitar amplifiers or computers?
UK plug is superior to all
A relic from time we were ran by Engineers and Scientists
UK plugs are oversized memes.
The ideal plug is a US grounded plug with sleeved power pins.
>who does outlets the best
Japan, it's just better, like everything else they do
That's a US lamp plug.
Japan is the same as US but without the third prong
That is just the same as the shittiest mutt plug, moronic weeb
>no ground
How can a safety hazard be the best?
question
i have a surge protector which has a short indicator
do i understand correctly that if there was a device that was shorted internally, the short indicator on the surge protector would inform me of this?
UK by far, US plugs are shit, I can't believe you can actually bend the pins on them. If you tread on a UK plug it just hurts your foot.
>The user should be injured rather than the plugs
Lol. That does sound British though.
chat gpt says its type G, the UK one.
>chatGpt
>likes G
racist
ChatGPT is just automated Reddit. That's the standard Reddit opinion so of course it's what ChatGPT says.
why doesn't the US one include a ground prong? Most cables now are 3 pronged except stuff like phone chargers (admittedly they probably should be)
>admittedly they probably should be
What would they ground? USB doesn't have a ground line, just DC-. The charger case is plastic. If you put a ground prong on it there's be nothing to connect it to.
I guess you could ground the transformer core.
Imagine not having the chinese one, who makes your electronics, morons?
switzerland/south africa/brazil
should be the EU standard too now that the brits no longer block it, if only the EU could put effort into anything.

Schuko fails at size. It’s too big and clunky. Type J > anything else.

what the frick, I had higher hopes for all of you. schuko wins every time.
