minus-squareThePyroPython@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoWhy would you step on them? You can just turn them off at the socket. And if you need extra sockets, just buy an extension. Literally zero reason to leave a plug lying on the ground.

minus-squareOlap@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 months agoThe video explains it better than I could. But there is a cover mechanism that only opens when the longer earth pin is inserted

minus-squareboletus@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agoOh that’s pretty cool. Closest thing I’ve seen to that in AU is a socket you have to twist from the ground port to access but it’s definitely not standard.
G - safest
