Ask HN: It's 1954, how do you charge a cell phone?
Someone walks into your shop with a USB-C Android mobile smart phone. It has 45% battery life, but even offline you can see amazing things in the apps. Not knowing the USB-C pinout, how could you charge it with contemporary equipment, without risking burning it out?
- tiredwired 9y agoOpen the phone. Take the battery out of the phone and test the output. Replace the battery with 1954 tech. Don't bother with the USB-C port.
- mcmisieck 9y agoAbout 5000 bucks? ;)
