Senators call for US to follow EU's lead in creating a national standard for phone chargers

[duronboy]

I do have some old 48V power supplies. 2000w each. So about enough for an RTZ 6090 Ti CEO Tight-in Vader Xp edition. Of course I won't be able to afford it as it will probably cost $4090.

I can't remember if they do that weird positive ground thing.

Don't tell the EU this but... they could require high end PC parts to take 48v DC to drive solar panel uptake...

 

[ElementDave]

Don't forget to plug it in the other way around, to go from -48 to +48.

You can change the orientation of the connectors with a standard USB-C++ adapter. (Windows PCs may need USB-C#.)

At this rate, we're going to have a USB-DC that is able to support 800-watts through a single connector.

At this rate, we're going to have a USB-DC that is able to support 800-watts through a single connector.

And will be physically capable of dissipating 150 watts of heat.

We already do, it's called a Tesla SuperCharger cable. Many kw's supported.

This is great news for those 2 way SLI RTX 4090Ti Gaming Laptops!

Economy in shambles, hey lets worry about phone chargers! Shocker, it's Warren and Sanders.

When the Speaker of the House is showing all the common folk her $12 pints of ice cream in her $25k freezer while many people are trying to figure out how to pay bills you know our government has its head up its own ass.

I almost say let them focus on cell phone charging so they don't screw up anything important. Everything they touch turns to crap.

Depends on the store. I'm of the opinion Harris Teeter All Natural vanilla and strawberry can't be beat at any price.

Would be hilarious if someone photoshopped a USB connector onto the female end.

The etherkiller people are too old school for USB, but the potential is there.

I would, but I'm already one point away from a ban.
