--- Quote from: antenna on November 13, 2023, 03:45:49 pm ---Apparently, the cure for an outlet that is so worn out that it cannot hold the plug is to tape the plug into the outlet. Does Amazon sell these in other countries or are they only trying to burn down the USA? There are so many products out there now that are just scary.

Perhaps if you'd posted the Amazon ASIN it would be ovbious what it's about, but as it is it's completely opaque. |

That snug plug one was something else I wanted to comment on, being it will just wedge the connector into the plastic opening on the outlet with no guarantee the fatigued contacts inside are touching any better (and only on one side now). I had no idea the pictures got switched around. |

I think it's an EEVBlog server thing. Meant to keep us on our toes or something. |
