Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? A power socket made by Lencent may give an electric shock. The earth contacts inside are not connected. The plug’s metal parts may also be covered with plastic.

What's happening? The socket does not protect against shocks. If a wire touches metal parts, the electricity can flow through you instead of safely to the ground.

Does this affect me? If you live in Germany or Poland and have this socket, you could get a shock.

What should I do? Stop using the socket right away. Ask a qualified electrician or your local store for help. Do not try to fix it yourself.
