The sticker indicates you shouldn't install any large, permanent, metal appliances to the outlet.

GFCI outlets work even if your TV does not have an equipment ground! They work by detecting stray current that doesn't come back on the neutral. So if some of the current finds a new path through...

Firstly, if you’re installing suicide adaptors it’s likely you don’t have modern circuit breakers.

This is a common need item for many in-city older homes built or remodeled before the 70’s. Both my grandparents had outlets that were put in place sometime between the 30’s and 50’s and no ground...

Just make sure you attach the appropriate sticker to the outlet (it'll come with your gfci.)
Does the sticker change anything? Of course not, but most codes do require you to note a gfci that...
