What do you call these?

No seriously, I always get blank stares when I ask people, I've called them wall chargers or power bricks, my friend called them plug chargers, my fiancee calls them dongles. What do you call these around your house, like when you're asking someone if they've seen any (______)'s
I call those release the Epstein files

Just asking for a dongle with no context is already kind of an issue. Unless this is the only thing she ever calls a dongle. It's like saying can you give me a piece of cutlery. What kind??

Edit: I still don't care and now I'm going to start saying it when talking to her because all of your discomfort gives me joy

USB plug. Mine also has an Earth connection.
What?! Could you send a picture, I really don't see the point of earthing a USB charger?

Unless I'm describing it in a system, then it's a full bridge rectifier

I'd usually only call something 'Netzteil' in the context of computers and not devices primarily used with batteries in mind

I generally think of these as "transformers", but I call it a power supply. Mostly folks look at me like a Labrador trying to do calculus, and say "You mean a power brick?"
When I was a kid I saw some model train stuff in boxes in our house storage and asked about it, my dad said we needed a transformer, unfortunately not the many Transformers I had in my toybox...we never got the power one but I always remember thinking we needed one to power trains for years. No idea what ever happened to them, now that I think of it I assume my Mom made sure we didn't have storage after a move, I always wanted to see those trains move.

"Thingie"
Or in my language -- "Negocinho".
A Negocinho and a Cabo ("a thingie and a cable") make a phone charger ("carregador de celular")
