Amazon could soon be on the hook for safety of third-party products it sells and ships — Government order could classify it as a distributor, potentially exposing it to more legal claims::undefined

Maybe then they'll stop selling male to male extension cords

What‽ Why would such a thing exist ??? 🤔

Testing your electrical panel? and how fast the firefighters are to get to your house?

[–] ocassionallyaduck@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ob it's far stupider and more deadly: hooking up your personal little generator so you can backfeed electricity to your house during a power outage.

It's even more stupid and deadly than it sounds.

Don't you need one of those to use your tesla as a house generator

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 year ago

There's a specific process and kind of panel you need to back feed power into your home

Basically your panel needs to have it setup so that it can either be powered by the generator or the grid. 1 or the other but never both at the same time.

Um, no. Normally you would use a regular male to female extension cable for that. Your electrical panel would have a male plug on the wall which is specifically wired up to safely provide power to your home.

teslas specifically don't generate electricity

what is going on in this thread?

"As a" implies knowledge that it is not a generator but can effectively be used as one.
