What we do is use a surge strip that has B coming into it and an A with that free wire I talked about coming out of it. At work we always put the free wire from A in the ground because it's policy, but at home it's like whatever. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss <cite>ssjevot posted [p:939718359] in Which coun...

I would be fine with downgrading to a type B plug if it meant i could import stuff from the US and not have to worry about the charger. But if you do that now, Australia's power standards will be in chaos because Australia is on 'Type I' along with New Zealand & China. I know USB-C is universal but that USB-C needs to draw power from somewhere that is not universal, and its only 100W max if the standards are followed (although Dell does go up to 130W but thats still low, cant run a microwave off it for example). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_hardware#Power USB Micro-B & Type-C connector do a pretty good job of being a "Universal DC connector" --- Are you a MexiCAN or a MexiCAN'T - Johnny Depp '*Once Upon A Time in Mexico*' <cite>KamenRiderBlade posted [p:939718790] in Which coun...

Honestly, it would be easier if you went the British route. You wouldn't have to do any "Voltage Conversion". And you already love the "British Plug". Why not get the colonies to re-unite on at least one standard, the "Type-G" plug that you love so much. Get away from China's standard plug. --- Are you a MexiCAN or a MexiCAN'T - Johnny Depp '*Once Upon A Time in Mexico*' <cite>KamenRiderBlade posted [p:939719402] in Which coun...
