Not yet, but how devices have pushed the USB-C connector to it's limit?

I do think I'm on to something though, as seen in the picture. The situation can probably be mitigated by having temperature sensors that slow down charging when things get too hot. But clearly there is a potential for problems, and USB standard will likely evolve to deliver even more power. A quick search reveals it's already planned to go from 100W to 240W delivery.

So it remains to be seen where the limit of the connector lies, since the connector itself will need to remain backwards compatible and likely unchanged.

The whole nVidia 12pin kerfuffle made me question something else.

As we all know, USB-C fast charging pushes more and more watts. Also, we're using USB-C to even charge laptops. And the metal on metal contact inside the connectors for USB is incredibly thin compared to the 12VHPWR.

So the question is, how close are we to a similar scenario with USB charging? Could we see melting with a worn out USB-C laptop charger, for example?

Sounds like the moron suddenly got a panic attack because of Twitter. Amazing...

Dude... just how many employees did Twitter have?! Jesus... He's fired more than I can count, and Twitter still has thousands more?!

@mushroom_soup
What, didn't you notice the timeline shift? That's been happening a lot recently. Like, just a few months ago Alex Jones was buying Twitter, but then the timelines went insane, and now I hear he's basically destitute, and Elon Musk bought Twitter.

Beautiful.
Not how I'd personally emulate 3DS on a Deck, but beautiful nonetheless that something like this is possible. I think someone could easily take the concept, and make an easy to use, attachable, commercial product.

Kinda what I was thinking. They don't look like intakes. The shape alone doesn't even make sense structurally.

This made me think... what if Kurt Cobain had information on Hillary Clinton?

I think the other replies you've already received is proof enough that you don't want to be here.
And it's not really an issue that the majority of fediverse users are anti-semitic, cause that's not the case. But the ones that are, are infuriatingly vocal about it.

If you think you have skin thick enough to withstand this assault, and make a home on this platform, then I wish you good luck. But be aware that just banning users or even instances won't be enough to stop some of these bastards.

Ummm.... I KNOW you posted this same thing before... What is going on... :gura_scared:

Any electronic component emits light constantly. People forget about the infrared spectrum.
