UK sockets usually have switches on them. There's no need to unplug things when you're not using them.

Also, Lego is a collective noun. Saying legos is exactly like saying sheeps.

this is something I've heard a lot from people in the UK, do UK electronics not have switches on them or something? all electronics I've ever seen living in the US have a power switch on them, do you think we unplug our stuff to turn them off?

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I didn't know you people had only one of them.

I have:

  1. A switch on my appliance
  2. A switch on each socket of my extension board
  3. A switch on the wall
  4. An MCB connected to groups of sockets
  5. An MCB for the whole house
  6. A circuit breaker on the nearby distribution station
  7. A circuit breaker in the power plant
  8. A generator start/stop system in the power plant

All the switches. All the joy. No need for plugs left on the floor.

[–] CXORA@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago

Lots of devices have status lights and other circuutry that still gets powered when "off". Its not a huge difference, but its nice to skip the unnecessary draw.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

No, but my point was that there's no need to unplug something and leave the plug on the floor if there's a switch.
