I couldn’t plug in an adaptor in what seemed to be the correct way, in a Sri Lankan hotel (type M), but it went in ok when I rotated it. As soon as it went in, the power went out in the entire hotel. It was out for the rest of the night, and as I went up the street the next morning, there was a crew working on a transformer a few blocks away. Coincidence?
Also, at the place I was working, there were 2 other types of power plug than type M. WTF?




It occurred to me that if it was looking like war between USA and Europe, he might threaten that all US companies must cut off all business with “enemy countries”. No more AWS (shut down services), no Windows/MacOS/Android/iOS (push out a disabling update), no access to your Gmail, no payment processing by Visa/Mastercard, root DNS fuckery…
