At least the UK one is blunt. I’m trying, without success, to find a picture of the old style telephone (and my modem) connectors we had here in Norway. Imagine the UK power plug, but the pins are pointy. I’ve drawn blood stepping on these. I would run a marathon on Lego to avoid stepping on one of those again. Luckily they were gradually replaced by wallmounted RJ11 (or RJ45 if you had ISDN) during the 90’s.

EDIT: Found it.
FFFFUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuu
Stepping on one feels like getting shanked under your foot by Poseidon and his trident.
Oh dude that’s medieval lol
The ’90s was also the era of Mortal Kombat, so at least it makes sense in its historical context
is that PoE adapter
No, it’s just an adapter to get the rj11 to connect to the wall socket that most houses built before 1990 had for their phones here.
Holy shit that’s just sadistic!!
I’ve seen plenty UK plugs where the ground plug has a weird wedge shape to it.
Like a bored knife designed was angry they’re designing plugs now…
