 @18357e09 @d1e2f8e7 Worth noting that Japan runs on 100VAC, not 110 or 230VAC, at either 60 *or* 50Hz depending on whether you're in the half of the country colonized by Westinghouse or Edison Electric at the end of the 19th century. Before switch-mode PSUs became ubiquitous taking personal electronics was a nightmare.
