Comment on xkcd #3186: Truly Universal Outlet

mlg@lemmy.world ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

I actually have a really annoying problem in that I cannot find any universal adapter that has a real ground pin.

All of them only have prongs for the hot and neutral wires, and sometimes a dummy plastic ground to grip the socket better.

I understand that 99% of the time, modern electronics don’t need a ground cable and its only there for safety, but it would still be a lot more comforting knowing the ground is actually connected.

I even considered modifying an adapter with a ground cable I can manually insert into the socket.
