An electrician's plea: Don't plug these 7 appliances (including AC units) into extension cords

zdnet.com Chris Bayer 2026-01-30 14:00:18

Maria Diaz/ZDNET Extension cords are generally a safe solution for running power to electronics that are too far from the nearest wall outlet.

Earlier this week, Samsung announced the latest generation of its high-end foldable phones at its Summer Galaxy Unpacked event. The Galaxy Z Fold7 and the Galaxy Z Flip7 are variously lighter, thinner, less crease-prone than before. They are more expensive too. Some call them the “foldables to beat.” It’s Samsung messaging and a commentator response that sounds an awful lot like what we heard last year.

The Switch 2 is in many ways a more premium and powerful version of the original Switch, but its sleek design seems to have come at a cost. Not only is the console itself difficult to repair, but a new iFixit teardown video shows that the Switch 2 Pro Controller isn't any easier. Based on iFixit's teardown, you have to completely disassemble the Switch 2 Pro Controller to access the parts you'll likely need to fix first.
