    I mean. That should be a given for different voltages. But for frequency… most things can be made to adapt to either or. Japan for example uses both depending on the region.

      Even voltages, most things these days are just SMPSs driving low voltage electronics. They DGAF about the voltage, they just adjust the duty cycle until the output is at 5V.
