EDIT NOTICE: I accidentally wrote "A1 Mini" in the meme instead of just "A1" out of habit. There's no proof for the Mini to also be affected yet. My bad, sorry. It's the A1 that might burn your house down.

both I think?
But it seems to only affect low voltage grid countries if I understand it correctly
I read high voltage has it worse, because the ac adapter circuit has a lot more work to do, so it runs hotter.
V * A = W
The device operates at a certain wattage. If the voltage is lower, you need more amps to reach the same watt. Amps is what makes conductors hot.
Example:
200V * 1A = 200W
100V * 2A = 200W
Or to quote the link above that you didn't read so I had to re-read to make sure I'm right:
So it's bambu fault for not thinking about those countries that want to do things differently from the rest of the world
(Most of the world operate between 220-240v, the most notable exceptions are north america, the most north part of south america, Japan and i think israel)
Yes!
