Sometimes that is annoying but ive never had to much issues with it tbh permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Opisek@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (1 child) What's great is that it's also "backwards-compatible" with type E. Male type E plugs will usually also have ground connections for a type F, so you can plug it into female E and F sockets. Edit: In fact, looking back at the picture, that's exactly the kind of male plug shown for both type E and F. It works with both types. It has the hole for an earth prong, but it also has a contact on the bottom side if you look closely. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) I will say the comparability is amazing and a really good thing! The type f plugs are amazing. Nothing bad about more ground connections! Just wished the type f sockets had a solid piece of metal, instead of the springs. Then they'd be perfect! :D permalink fedilink source parent
