At the start of the pandemic I bought a decently specced gaming PC. I haven't played a single AAA game since then. Only indies :) Indies are on a roll, there's one for any genre and gameplay style.

What you mean to say is: USB Power Delivery as a standard didn't even appear until after Lightning was launched. Any fast charging didn't appear until USB-C specs that only became finalized in 2014. And Lightning has been charging

What you're saying is: rolling blackouts are totally fine because no one will die if they sit in the dark for a few hours. BTW, turning a lot stuff off and then turning it back on strains the grid immensely.
