    If I’m ever doubtful that someone has unplugged something, I’ll ask them to describe something that may or may not be on the plug.

    • Color
    • metal type
    • “can you please read me the serial number stamped on the prongs of the power cable”
    • “what color is the plastic inside the plug” Etc.etc.

    Have not had it fail yet

      what color is the plastic inside the plug

      That’s gold, I don’t think I could ask that without laughing.

      You should reach out to power supply companies and ask them to put some bogus number on the plastic by the prongs so end users never think something is up when you do this trick
