I responded to someone else, but I have a gaming laptop that needs the DC Barrel plug for playing games, but also lets you charge it with USB-C (useful for traveling). That would meet the standard set forth, as it is compatible with USB-C charging.

Good point with that last bit, I have a gaming laptop that comes with a big DC Barrel plug and power brick, which is essentially needed for playing games. However, it also lets you charge with USB-C which is what I use when travelling/doing productive work. I see no reason why this approach can’t be applied more regularly, as it increases flexibility and maintains compatibility with the standard.

3·2 years agoThis may not be a popular opinion, but I personally see no issue with this if the terms of service and use are made clear and transparent before you order the device. Would I personally recommend or use the product? Hell no, but people having an informed choice, and choosing to accept these terms is perfectly fine imo.

Though in general I do agree about AI generated article images, or lazy article images in general (AI or not). They’re fun to laugh at, though.

And somehow it’s entertaining and educational every time.

2·2 years agoDepends on how active you want to manage your cash, but I’ve found YNAB to be godsend. It’s designed for limiting money use as well, not just balancing, but I’d recommend giving it a look.
Edit: it’s helped me massively with impulse spending as well.

I do find it somewhat ironic how much they have embraced USB-C on laptops and tablets, yet were essentially forced to add to their phones.
