I changed two controllers/transformers earlier for a friend. I was there to do six. I connected the first two and well, they blew up .

    Stuff you buy from physical Aussie store shelves have been validated to meet our standards though. Doesn’t stop me from buying plenty of stuff from AliExpress though

      Other way around. Hence recalls.

      Edit: are you fucking serious guys. Look at recall reasons on any given site. See how many of them are for violations that would have been caught if they’d been vetted before hitting the shelves. Talking basic stuff like “choking hazard” or “child accessible coin battery” or in one case i saw “will self ignite”
