Yikes. 240W through that tiny connector?
> The most troublesome potential is the combination of PD controller bugs on the charger side leading to 48V/5A on the cable, and a lack of protection circuitry on the side of a device that has been designed for 5V-only.
Double yikes. I always thought that if you're going to put radically different voltages through ports, they should have different-enough connectors that you can't plug one into the other. I guess I'm old-fashioned.
I get the desire to end the connector conspiracy and just have One Connector to Rule Them All, but in the end we've just created another connector conspiracy, especially when you throw Thunderbolt into the mix.
