You could make a USB toaster, it would just take a lot longer...
- NBJack 2y agoNonsense. We just need...about 10-15 USB-C laptop charging blocks rated at 100W each. I'm sure can find a 1:10 USB charge splitter (heck, maybe we just need to get creative with a few 1:4s) on Temu. What could possibly go wrong?

- debacle 2y agoFor starters, that USB splitter would be single use, assuming it didn't melt before your toast was done.
- alnwlsn 2y agoOr, in the pre-USB-PD days, you do this[0]. Only 30 USB ports required. I swear I remember this being a toaster instead of a hot plate, but I guess you would need around 300 USB ports for a toaster.

- makeitdouble 2y agoWith 240W power delivery now available, you'd just need 6 ports to get near max allowed power.
