2 years agoBoth have honestly existed for a long while. The term is hard SciFi and soft SciFi.
Hard SciFi is concerned with making sure that it’s rules are self consistent and the ramifications are clear. Early examples include Perry Rhodan, which had schematics for technologies in the story on the silver books.
Soft SciFi however is not concerned with those issues, it wants to tell some specific story but if the FTL they used has consistent and realistic rules is not that important.
Schuko can have a fuse as safety feature (Schutzkontaktstecker mit Gerätesicherung), but you have to set the fuse below the fuse that’d be behind the socket (which means your fuse would be below 8A if you want to be safe, though because 16A fuses are more common, so a common fuse to actually be installed is 10A).
In most cases, the fuse is just in the device itself rather than the cable. Ideally then that fuse is also replaced easily.
