I miss having the charger on the right side of my laptop
For some reason I have a power outlet to my right more often than my left
@abloo chaotic neutral: charger in the back of the laptop

@icedquinn @abloo My new laptop does this and it threw me for a loop at first.

Though it's also becoming more common to have multiple charging ports via USB-C.

@urusan @abloo this new compute has a usb-c port but i'm not sure if i can charge with it. the computer is high-draw.

kudos to boxes that can though. universal charge cables cool and good
@icedquinn @urusan
iirc the usb-c spec says that you should be able to charge a device through any usb-c port
Follow

@abloo

If that is truly in the spec then I can say that it is ignored by a LOT of companies apparently.

@icedquinn @urusan

@freemo @abloo @urusan well it might trickle charge but it might not be able to supply enough to run, i've seen that happen in some power supplies*.

* my apple newton** was like this. the universal charger was undervolt so it could only trickle the battery and use it that way.

** loved that thing
