@nomenloony I work in a high school and have a wired plug with every mistake I could think of as a demo, "find the problems". It's kept in a locked box, and has the earth pin twisted so it can't easily be used, because it's fucking lethal.
This is somehow worse.

@nomenloony
Horse shit? It's absolutely shocking.

@nomenloony yes, true! But great quality of images

OLD UK was
Live = Red
Neutral = Black

Old AC/DC Radios & TVs had chassis to Neutral (Maybe) and no Earth. All external metal was isolated.

USA was
Live = Black
Neutral = White
During 1940s USA radios were imported that had a dropper in the mains cord to reduce 240V to 110V. They might have had a capacitor from mains (maybe neutral or live) to metal work and / or chassis. Rated for 110V not 240V mains.

That number is already non-zero.

@nomenloony well, the insulation was correctly labelled, so you know, the glass was half-full, right?

@nomenloony True! ChatGPT gave me these two monstrosities! I also used the AI ALT-Text generator in IceCubes and it didn’t notice the weirdness.

@raymaccarthy @nomenloony also this reminds me of Mark Pawson's little book of UK die-cut plug wiring diagrams

@drahardja @skyfire747 @nomenloony the problem with ai is that if you're smart enough to ask the question, you should be smart enough to find the bullshit answers.

@nomenloony

This gives me an idea for a reality television show involving techbros.

They get to go about common tradesmen and household repair tasks using their AI.

I think it would be popular although short-lived

[fiend_unpleasant@mastodon.social]

@nomenloony you can do it once...

[fiend_unpleasant@mastodon.social]

@eliasp @drahardja @skyfire747 @nomenloony It then adds its own slop in to the training pool

[evcricket@mastodon.social]

@nomenloony Simply introduce a live-earth link in the plug!

Didn't realise your plugs are fused. Makes some sense, not done here (AU)

@JustinDerrick @nomenloony

may they burn bright and briefly
