Magnets. (How do they work?)
I replaced all my USB-C and Micro-USB connectors with magnetic ones. No more orientation worries, no more fumbling in the dark, no more not-inserting-it-hard-enough. Just bring the two into proximity and them magically snap together.
Bliss.
Discord is where information goes to die.
Please just stick things on a website. I’m happy to help you set one up.
OMG! I still have my DataLink watch somewhere. I remember thinking it was amazing and showing off all the phone numbers I’d programmed into it.
Will your code work with any flashing LED? Or does it need special hardware?
Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Cracked black pepper. Then either shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano or nutritional yeast.
Basically, all the savoury flavours at once - and not as boring as plain salt.
Yes, it is not possible for a USB-C charger to deliver too much power to a device. You should be able to use any USB-C device with any charger - with three caveats.
Firstly, not all USB-C chargers will go up to the maximum limit of your device. If you have a 5v 2A charger supplying 10Watts - that’s going to take a long time to fill your device.
Secondly, not all USB-C devices support all possible charging profiles. So you may have a charger which can give one device 65W but not another.
Thirdly, the cable matters. A cheap £1 cable isn’t going to be able to to charge at maximum power. Get a cable which is specified for the job.
Here’s my review of a USB-C charger which experienced these problems - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2020/06/review-ylpower-87w-usb-c-charger-msh-87pd/
I think the best starting point is asking “what do I want yo do with technology.”
It is a vast subject and no one knows all of it.
If all you want to do is read the news and comment on cat pictures, that’s fine.
If you want to learn how to make your own music, or write your own website, or edit photos of your cats - then that is where you should start.
What do you think would be a good, small starter project for you?
Seems a bit slim. They all seem like sensible additions - but are we reaching the end of core OS innovation?
Yes, there are magnetic USB cables which do data. Here’s my review of one https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/10/gadget-review-subbytech-magnetic-charge-sync-cables/
