yep, if you’re running decent stuff you don’t need to worry about a charger ruining a thing.


I am stoked that with a power delivery charger I can charge my mirrorless canon. such a simple thing but life changing.

me too, I love how USB-C has like 20 different alternate modes, and some cables support some of them but not others. Also there's no labeling so you don't know what any given port's capabilities are, or whether your cable will work with that port or not.

G R E A T J O B USB consortium, real a+ design work there

over time these will settle into a few useful ones, and the situation will improve and that’s fine because at least we won’t be changing our fuckin ports

sounds like usb-c is really flexible and useful in a lot of different situations


standardising the connector and nothing else at all was genius really

ofc jonny rejecting the beauty of modern engineering stuffing 5 cables into one standard cable that all aliexpress vendors can make with equal (okay, varying, bur equal on average!) levels of incompetence

computers have been boring for too long. usb c has made things exciting again. sometimes your gadget will catch fire, sometimes not! it's a crazy gamble which!

usb3 sucks and this is why



dont even start to think that you can splice them up

after watching a vertistasium video and discovering how power really flows, looking at cables like this kind of confuse me. thinking of signals passing down wires works but is too simplistic

because on some level this is extremely engineered electric field fuckin manipulation. its ... something else wow
