Wonder if you could do it on the cable with little embedded LED lights. One end turns red for "charging" the other turns blue for "supplying power". Would add to the BOM cost on the cable for sure, but it would not only be cool looking but rather useful.
- woodrowbarlow 9y agooh yeah, because my bedroom doesn't have enough glowing devices when i'm trying to go to sleep. let's add LEDs to every cable too!
- spookthesunset 9y agoHah. Good point. Yes, too many devices want to put big giant blue LED's on their product.... even ones that are specifically targeted for the bedroom and specifically designed for sleeping...
- gargravarr 9y agoBarring the comments about adding more sources of light in a dark room (yep, I agree with this), I still appreciate the MagSafe adapter for my MBP lighting a tiny LED to say charging/full. The new USB-C MBPs we have at work don't have any indication whatsoever that the adapter is working unless the machine is booted and logged in (to pre-empt comments about the chime, what if it's muted, as is often true of workplace laptops?). MagSafe tells me no matter what state the computer is in. The LEDs don't have to be bright, just dim little indicators that are only really noticeable if you're looking for them. Then you get an instant idea of what the devices are doing.
