I'm currently living in a place where the wall sockets are UK standard, but my PC and two monitors are fitted with EU plugs. Right now, I'm using a UK multi-plug outlet that connects to the wall, which works fine, but I'm wondering if I should just buy three EU to UK adapters to connect my devices. Do you think that would be safe, or is there a better solution to power my electronics?

You could definitely just replace the plugs on your devices with UK ones, but I get that you'd like to avoid messing with expensive equipment. If you're not comfortable with that, it might be more convenient to find a UK power strip or extension lead that has EU compatible sockets instead of just using travel adapters, as those are really meant for short-term use.
That makes sense! But I only have two outlets in my room and they're kind of far apart, so I'd need an extension. Are those really not safe to use all the time?
