Some of you haven't blown out a mobo because PS/2 was a shit standard or were force to buy a new shaver because non of the 20 power bricks you kept for 10 years actually fit anything and it shows ;)
My almost 80yo mum doesn't have a clue about PD or DP or what is exactly usb-c, lightning and micro usb; but she can use it perfectly fine. She understands that 'some cables charge slower' and a dedicated power brick can deliver more power than her laptop usb port. I dunno, I think it is a net improvement
- jerlam 2y agoExcept when you get that one device that can only charge via a USB-A to USB-C cable, and not via USB-C PD. Those throw all logic and simplicity out the window.
