Yeah, the idea is nice, but it smells an awful lot of wall socket generators and suicide cords
Not sure what's up with the downvotes, that's a legitimate concern any time you've got a male plug supplying power... It literally IS a solar wallsocket generator with what's essentially a suicide cord permanently attached.
I'm sure they've put some protection in place; but still.
Oh, it's because I skipped out on the preemptive disavowal.
See, the vast majority of lemmy is functionally illiterate, so if you wanna object to, eg., solar panels, you have to start your comment with something like "Well, I agree that global warming is a huge problem, and solar is a way to fight it, and I support more solar [..] but,..." or else the feral hogs on the thread will just see you saying "solar bad" and assume you're a flat earther.
