Gonna have to start putting in something like a meanwell supply for the video card and your atx supply for the rest. As graphical power requirements keep increasing there is going to have to be a next level of design or requirements. Gaming pc in...

A lot of laptops are shipping with their own weird power plugs but also USB-C PD, and have for several years.

Honestly, barrel plugs are one that should have been phased out from users experience. Too difficult for many people to read the voltage and current ratings on the device and the supply (if they get separated from eachother) and not all center...

Gonna be quite a few years first. Will take sometime before it goes into effect and then for it to filter its way through the market until everyone is only using a usb-c based phone. So until then you might want to just keep a cable in your car.

It's a problem that was solved by the market, and now politicians are trying to take credit while doing nothing but creating problems for the future.

I hate apple referring to their cables as "lightning" cables, which are limited to USB 2. And, gubmint pushing phone companies to do the right thing hasn't always been a bad thing. I'm thankful as F I can port my same number from prehistory to...

The Constitution is a limitation on government powers. I'll quickly go check and see where the Founding Fathers mentioned that the government is prohibited from dictating phone charging standards...

This is the internet, you could talk about a law requiring a certain thing to be used and someone will use a horrible analogy with getting something desirable for free as being the same thing :D :D :D

At this price range I'd suggest Schiit Audio. https://www.schiit.com/products

Friggin' cell phone reviewers, who drool over stuff like this and call it premium. They're the same people who slobber over ever-thinner phones and then also whine about short battery life.

I mean I got a 5 year old phone, the back glass is cracked (which idiot designer thought glass for the back was a good idea?), the USB port hasn't worked in 4 years, and the battery doesnt hold charge for shit these days. The last one is the...

Replacing batteries would reduce ewaste i would imagine. Would much rather they pushed on that instead of charge cables.

Right, and one can't help but wonder how that might be effecting "innovation", among other things. Removing the phones instead of the cables would make for an interesting social experiment.;) The resulting chaos could secure a permanent place in...

I miss my ratpad

Good, the amount of times not having 'insert correct apple/USB variant' here has caused issues before, makes this welcome.

Oddly enough, I just started watching an LTT video and the sponsor was UGREEN and that very 65W 3-port charger.

Thanks, yea i was really sad not finding an equivalent to my 10 port usb-a chargers but i suppose at the wattage requirements per port for C it does make sense, i do like that one though thanks

Chargers with more than one C port seem relatively rare. 1 or 2 A ports and a C are much more common, but you can find mutl-C chargers. Anker's got a dual-C charger where both ports 20W. I see a UGREEN multiport charger on Amazon for $55 (not...

So I was having trouble finding the actual regulation (also didnt spend too much time) but I am wondering if companies can just toss in a small adapter to comply with this. So my apple wireless chargers all came with usb-c cables so actually had...

Time to bring back one of my favorite quotes The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
