A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
This could mean that OP has either +100 usb chargers, or a fraction of a non-USB-C charger
a cord that was cut lengthwise
USB-D's NUTS
Actually the EU is forcing standardization of electronic devices.
USB-C will be destroyed by Romulans and next we will have USB-D.
And there will be a bunch of those neat little adapters on aliexpress soon after
USB-C2
USB-C2(1)_new_final
USB 2x3 v5 2.2+ 3.1
2 C, 2 USB
At least usb-a3 works with previous ports
USB-C2 is four fold symmetric
USB-D will be round again
I liked the old chargers. It was like you were stabbing the electricity into them.
If companies can stop cheaping out on their USB-C ports that'd be cool.
Most devices are still on USB 3.1, so there is a room for growth.
That being said, newest USB protocol supports 240w charging and 20gbps transfer rates. It's good even for next generation laptops, not even talking about phones
I'd say a lot of devices are fine on USB2 or even 1
Some things don't need much
that being said, there is no standard indicator for ports, chargers, and cables to signify what charging speed they support.
Sure, usb c can technically do 240W, but most people use crappy chinese cables which will do max 5W and blame it on the usb specification
I'd argue that they're partially right (or at least not entirely wrong) to blame the specification. If the specification makes it easy for crappy manufactures to be crappy, then the specification probably should have planned for that in a better way. And crappy manufactures being crappy is a tale as old as manufacture. Yeah I know there are cable marking requirements, but clearly nobody gives a flying fuck. The USB IF has basically all of the power in this situation, and their members collectively control a significant percentage of the planets wealth, so it's actually their problem to solve.
And crappy manufacturers being crappy is a tale as old as manufacture.
Ea Nasir catching hate still it seems.
