do you keep your phone charger plugged into the wall?
>>53045796
Yes.
S-should I be concerned?
>>53045796
No.
S-should I be concerned?
>>53045796
Maybe.
S-should I be concerned?
>>53045796
No, because I just charge it at my computer while I'm eating in the morning.
S-should I be concerned?
No
User Manual says don't do that
>>53045796
I don't remember.
S-should I be concerned?
>>53045796
Yes.
S-sh-sh-sh-sh-should I be concerned?
Yes. Been doing it with all my phone charges for years without any issues.
Can you repeat the question?
S-should I be concerned?
Well, I live in the United Kingdom, which, as you all know, literally has the best mains plug and socket system in the world. I simply leave any device plugged in, but switch it off at the wall when not in use.
I have one of these plugged in all the time.
>>53046027
>literally has the best mains plug and socket system in the world
But that's not IEC 60906-1.
I keep it unplugged because I don't care for potential fire hazards.

I unplug every single appliance I'm not using because I'm poor and every bit helps.
Is this the birth of a new epic meme?
S-should I share it with my mates over at Reddit?

lol so randum xd

No, just make sure she eats every last one

Pretty much this.
You see the difference when you're careful.
I could probably stop using AC entirely if I were willing to give up the tiny fridge and somebody gave me a solar panel plus battery.
>>53046247
>a kilowatt is 17 cents
>"e-every bit helps"
It's like 2 euros per year, if you even manage to somehow "waste" a kilowatt of power per month. That's like a bottle of beer and a pack of nuts. Per year of saving. Prioritize, you nigger.
>>53045864
Do you keep your computer's power supply plugged into the wall?
(s-should you be concerned?)

How does it smell? I mean the egg, not the cat, haha.

Are our power mains not the best?

even if yours are the best, that's a ridiculous thing to be proud of and brag about on the nets.

I d-don't know. C-Can you repeat the question?
>>53045796
Yes. I have a box thing next to my bed that has the cables all neatly in it.

The UK government did an awareness campaign telling people to unplug their chargers when not in use, since it drains a tiny amount of power.
Of course, this is a country which has to take steps to mitigate massive power demand increases when certain TV programs end since everyone turns on their kettles.

>switch it off at the wall when not in use
Naaaahhhhh son.
I leave my sockets on all the time, if I put a plug in the wall, I want power.
no cuz some of them hum and whine and some have an LED that I don't want on when I'm sleeping
>>53046097
>using amazon basic
enjoy your house fire
I leave chargers plugged in. I only use branded chargers and cables (no generic Chinese shit), so there's no real fire hazard.
As for the moneysaving... I never understood people who subject themselves to inconvenience in order to save a few £ per year.
Even if it saved £20 a year, that would be £0.06 per day for the convenience of not having to faff about at the wall every time I plug in a device. And it isn't £20, it's generally more like £2.
So... c'mon. If you're in a bad financial situation, you need to either make significantly more money or cut your expenditure drastically. Simple as that. No point removing every tiny luxury from your life and then patting yourself on the back for saving a trivial amount.
>>53048525
I use an Amazon Basics Apple 30pin for my iPod.
It is by far, the best 30 pin cables I've had. And I've brought quite a few, and this one was about the cheapest.
>>53048688
mustve got lucky then. cause every basic cord ive used was either DOA, ran hot, or was just poorly built. you mustve got the "Quality Assurance" cables.
>>53048275
why are you stuttering?
>>53048853
Fuck!
I'm glad I read this, I was considering buying a whole set for all of my devices of basic. Crisis averted.
>>53047933
Lmfao
>>53048853
jesus, i was considering getting some but now i'm not sure
Yes
>>53048525
>>53048688
>>53048853
>>53048902
I've never had issues with their HDMI, mini-B, or micro-B USB cables. I'm straight, though, so I've never bought a lightning cable. Maybe those were flawed?
>>53047933
For you
>>53046385
I had a teacher a few years ago that was saving around $10/month by keeping everything plugged into power strips and turning the strips off instead of just the devices
>>53046280
Why are you doing this?
>>53048853
man I was about to get a bunch of those
thanks for sharing
>>53048853
holy shit you saved me
I just went to Amazon and ordered a dozen
luckily I could still cancel my order
thanks mate
>>53048853
honestly I bought a couple of those as a present for my aunt
better throw them away now
thank you fellow anon
>>53048853
dude that was close I almost fell for the meme
better get me a stack of quality cables instead of these cheap ones
you have my thanks
>>53048853
good call anon
you saved many other anons from buying cheap products that would burn down their homes
you are my personal hero of the day
>>53045888
this.
plus, it makes a high pitched continous beep sound if you listen closely
>>53047678
Somebody's jealous :^)
>>53046097
>having location services on
Why do you want the entire world to know your taking a shit or jacking off?
>>53045796
I do
>>53051764
fine, not every charger, but those which use an USB cable (like >>53049628) do make a sound. It's very high though.
>>53052090
I have many USB chargers. They're 100% silent. (They do have an annoying bright light, but that's easy to fix.)
Yeah, I can just switch it off at the wall because I don't live in a third-world shit hole
>>53051748
*steps on it*
*kills self*
>>53046027
Damn I'm pretty jelly.
No because I can hear the stupid high pitch whine

> build a bridge rectifier with 4 diodes and nothing else

this was the only time I've ever seen a wall plug fail.
S-should I be concerned?
>>53048902
They're fine. I bought a couple ones of HDMI.
>>53054487
All depends on how the charger is made, and how cheap the components are
Dumbass
>>53045796
I just carry all my chargers around with the devices they go to.
Never gotten why other people didn't.
>>53046097
What server?
>>53046027
If I was retarded and wanted switched receptacles, I could have them too...
