first is ours

2017-11-22 09:56:18 UTC  

polish :c

2017-11-22 09:56:20 UTC  

jesus

2017-11-22 09:56:32 UTC  

it's incredibly stupid how the socket types aren't standarized

2017-11-22 09:57:09 UTC  

same voltage and frequency? one socket please

2017-11-22 09:57:33 UTC  

220-230 difference is negligable anyways

2017-11-22 09:57:41 UTC  

50-60hz also

2017-11-22 09:57:46 UTC  

we went from 220 to 230 a decade ago or so

2017-11-22 09:58:06 UTC  

tfw at the end due to shitty wiring you may get like 190V

2017-11-22 09:58:09 UTC  

and shit still works

2017-11-22 09:58:16 UTC  

praise the switchin power supplies

2017-11-22 09:59:55 UTC  

50-60hz actually makes a difference

2017-11-22 10:00:05 UTC  

at least it does for the hardware we make where i work

2017-11-22 10:00:12 UTC  

we use mains frequency for synchronizing

2017-11-22 10:00:24 UTC  

although we might actually detect it in software, not sure

2017-11-22 10:01:08 UTC  

yo is it normal for gearbest to not accept paypal sometimes

2017-11-22 10:02:11 UTC  

frequency counters are cheep

2017-11-22 10:02:28 UTC  

i think they don't in some cases? coupons maybe?

2017-11-22 10:04:36 UTC  

oh nvm it works on checkout

2017-11-22 10:04:49 UTC  

I wish mobile discount stacked with coupon

2017-11-22 10:06:16 UTC  

rip

2017-11-22 10:06:34 UTC  

I wanna get the mini usb flashlights but I end up paying more for shipping than the actual item <:hms:311152554618912768>

2017-11-22 10:07:59 UTC  

was it Cole™ certified?

2017-11-22 10:08:05 UTC  

I think it was

2017-11-22 10:08:16 UTC  

he said he got it for 8 cents once somehow

2017-11-22 10:09:56 UTC  

well it's double that

2017-11-22 10:14:29 UTC  

@spaqin a switch is cheaper

2017-11-22 10:14:50 UTC  

makes sense

2017-11-22 10:14:53 UTC  

i think we either have a step in the firmware flashing where it's defined as 50 or 60hz unit

2017-11-22 10:15:03 UTC  

or there's a tiny switch on the pcb

2017-11-22 10:15:04 UTC  

what are you working with?

2017-11-22 10:15:06 UTC  

oscilloscopes?

2017-11-22 10:15:24 UTC  

electronic article surveillance

2017-11-22 10:15:30 UTC  

ayy

2017-11-22 10:15:43 UTC  

we use the mains zero crossing as a reference point so all devices nearby are synchronized

2017-11-22 10:15:49 UTC  

and dont start detecting eachother

2017-11-22 10:16:08 UTC  

makes perfect sense

2017-11-22 10:16:34 UTC  

would buying a chink uk power adapter be safe

2017-11-22 10:16:46 UTC  

or is it best to buy one at home

2017-11-22 10:16:49 UTC  

just the mechanical part?

2017-11-22 10:16:59 UTC  

yeah, just the plug converter
