The power lead with a ground cable is a Japanese-style cable. Most outlets in Japan are ungrounded, but some will have a ground 'pole' sticking out to which you can connect the separate ground lead. This is required for outlets that e.g. AC units connect to.

Why this PSU came with a Japanese-style power lead is... weird.

[taichim]

Actually, Kuroutoshikou is a trusted and a well known brand in Japan for those who opt for budget pc builds. I never used their product though.

[iDX]

RE: 3:13 - My guess is that was a Gigabyte board that failed quality controls over the DVI port and possible other issues. Someone took the QC reject boards (basically stole them from the company) and sold them on Wish.

[RINFUSN]

The really really REALLY sad thing for me is: This PC has better specs than mine

[YHDiamond]

Redoing the most profitable video. Stonks

[randomosity]

Every day I become more convinced the company only exists so Linus can afford to drop stuff.

[ThisIsTechToday]

I'm pretty sure all the computer hardware purchased from Wish comes from all of the YouTubers making Wish computer builds 😂

[jennymckenzie]

I wonder if "buffoon" is because the brand is named "Jester" or "Harlequin" or something and it's an synonym they don't know the implications of post translation.

[jonludwig]

A thousand people have probably already mentioned this but that "ground pin" is the standard in Japan, where grounded wall sockets are so rare as to be nearly non-existent. Spent seven years there and most of my electronic power cables looked like that.

[DanB]

I can confirm that random mini screwdrivers seem to come with random things on Wish for no reason. I bought a pair of shoes just for fun and it had one of those 🤣

[stykefilmstudios]

“You don’t need a screwdriver to install a cable!”
He says after installing the totally standard ground connector for the psu with a screwdriver

[Eli_Kennemer]

11:17 Protip: Ground lead can be used on a two pin socket and attached under the screw that mounts the faceplate - In most cases that should make contact with the outlet housing/box which should be grounded (if the installer did that)

[WouterVerbruggen]

Those grounding wires are common in Japan. Also that switch has nothing to do whatsoever with PFC (power factor correction). That switch is simply so 1 type of unit can work at different volt levels. PFC is to correct for capacitive/inductive loads to reduce the reactive power, which is essentially wasted power on the grid.

[handspiker]

The grounding plug is used in Japan. Japan also uses type A outlets like we do in Canada/US. They probably just used a JP plug instead of having separate stock of US plugs.

EDIT: The writing on the box is also Japanese instead of Chinese, so probably just a JP power supply Wish bought in bulk.

[Ultravod]

Linus attempting to play TF2 in Valve's official Casual mode was even more dangerous than the Wish PC build.

[alexjones]

Y'all are the only channel I don't scrub through the sponsor break because you keep it short and sweet... thank you.

[cadderley]

The worst part of that is, 10 years back, that would have been considered a top spec gaming PC. You could have bought a Ryzen 5 with a Vega 11 gpu for less than $400, have some change, and still gotten a much better gaming PC over all.

[WunjoxFlo]

The worst thing is that this is literally a Dell Optiplex configuration. And an Optiplex can be found for like 80€.
Add an SSD and a low profile GPU and you get more performance for less than half the price of this monstrosity 😬

[StrokeMahEgo]

"It means that people must be buying it, right!?" No Linus, it's just you. Sellers put stuff on Wish with the hope that they'll make it into a LTT video.
