@typositoire @catsalad

What kind of crazy perversion of a wall plug is that thing on the wall?!?

Do those actually exist in reality?

.

In the US-style, with two flats and a round, it's important that both the round one and the flat one on the "left" be ground!

@catsalad Oh so true. Just take a WiFi antenna, screw it on a cut off lan cable, and hand it to someone at work. Then make them call tech support to fix it.

They WILL hate you.

(The resulting hate will vary depending on how much of a Karen you pick. Your mileage may vary)
