- asafira 8y agoEven better if it is actually a usb stick, too.
- mnx 8y agoYeah until the spec changes/expands and you now need another device to tell you whether that stick is up-to-date on the spec :D
- Yetanfou 8y agoAs long as the actual port remains identical the widget could be made up to date with a software upgrade.
- raducu 8y agoYou cannot add a led with a software update :)
- egwynn 8y agoNot with that attitude you can’t!
- Kihashi 8y agoSure, but you could work around that. Even with a fixed amount of LEDs, you have on, off, blinking, and color to work with.
- Yetanfou 8y agoYou can add another word or symbol on an OLED screen though, which is what I'd assume a widget like this would use.
- redcalx 8y agoAlso how any watts of power delivery. From observation it seems to vary.
