Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

One day it will all be USB-X

One day, all power will be wireless and we'll all just be cool with having treatable cancer.

Voltage and a pin out would be cooler

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (6 children)

Voltage is 220/240/250v, unless it is American or some parts of Central and South American where we use 110/120/130v.

The big pin is the earth(usually middle), left is usually neutral, and right is hot.

Type G is UK and we have the best plugs in the world. Go watch any videos on YouTube discussing all the safety features. Work of art they are.

Remember, all sockets are Type C if you push hard enough.

Edit: this advice applies equally to USB.

[–] MacAttak8@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (2 children)

This has got to be only the most common plugs around the world.

I’m only familiar with US standards but this doesn’t seem to cover our other plugs for higher voltages.

[–] Inductor@feddit.de 4 points 5 months ago

It's missing the European high voltage plugs as well.
