Not really, just like it's not worth it having any power supply embedded into a power outlet. It's also a bit dangerous, it can malfunction and burn your place to the ground without triggering circuit breakers. Also USB-C power in particular is pretty inefficient by design, as having say a 150 watt power supply to efficiently deliver 5 watts of power is rather complex and expensive to achieve.
- mikeash 7y agoWhat makes the risk of malfunction higher compared to a standard power supply plugged into an outlet?
- zzzcpan 7y agoNo airflow for cooling.
- tomatocracy 7y agoAs sibling says, no cooling but also no easy way to disconnect the supply eg if it gets hot or starts smoking or sparking.
