@NanoRaptor Now if only there were a way of connecting a bunch of these to a single socket ... @nddragoon @johnmu @NanoRaptor I am disappointed that this fire hazard is not real. Or at least, Amazon does not carry it. @dragonarchitect @NanoRaptor @ToddVierling @dragonarchitect @NanoRaptor @foone @ToddVierling @dragonarchitect @NanoRaptor We've had fibreoptic over high voltage distribution networks in the UK for quite some time now. (Admittedly they wound it round the earth conductor from pylon top to pylon top, but the thought was there.) Ethernet over 132/275/400kV - who needs an Etherkiller when you have that? 3:O)> a Schuko dual-PS/2 with a jack plug as integrated mouse+keyboard+audio sockets that were used with IBM PCs in the 80s/90s @NanoRaptor Is that the equivalent of FizzBuzz, but for hardware engineer interviews? Call it... FizzBang? @mossmann @NanoRaptor I guess that would be the new USB 4 Gen 3x2x2 80Gbit/s standard according to their versioning scheme @NanoRaptor โUniversalโ, and yet still not compatible with European Dual USB-C sockets that use a shared ground pin @NanoRaptor This still outputs 5V. It just also sends a lot of extra volts at the same time. @NanoRaptor Was this a case of inspiration, or parallel development? @NanoRaptor I shudder to think what they would come up with to identify this one. @NanoRaptor no joke, DELL Laptops are using dual USB-C for their Dockingstations /cc @sigmasternchen @NanoRaptor As someone who is a device, this is making me upset and very uncomfortable. |
@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social have the ground pin also be an aux cord
