look at this frickin thing
@jcs
If only it supported data. Stream a file through it like a `cat |` to nine tails (well, 100...
@steven_pigeon @jcs someone had time on their hands
@steven_pigeon @jcs so long as it is 14 characters minimum and changes every 90 days
@jcs at some point of time we, as humans, may finally agree on all sorts of standards for sockets and plugs - maybe in this century?
@jcs i am. respectfully.
@jcs you would think there was some organization that worked on standards
@jcs And it's missing the old A-B square end for printers 8)
@jcs
But...
Where are the serial, parallel, and SCSI connectors?
@jcs puts the Universal in Universal Serial Bus
@jcs oh my god it has usb-c
@jcs It's like a cat-o-nine-tails with an off-by-one.
Sadism all the way through. Nice.
@jcs this is art in its highest form and the EU killed it
@jcs biblically accurate charging cable

@jcs@jcs.org I have something similar it comes in clutch a lot when I have niche old phones or game consoles on the desk
@jcs What has the EU ever done for us? :)
@jcs to quote tumblr, they beat jesus with that
@jcs the world without EU tyranny
@jcs Useless without DB-9 and mini DIN-8 connectors.
@jcs "Hey, do you have a charger for-"

@jcs the natural world is full of wonder
@jcs a biblically accurate charger cord
@rotopenguin @jcs Of approximately... 2005 ish?
@jcs I have one. It depressingly only moves 500mAmps and no data.
@Flux @jcs If it did more than baseline 5V at low current, without active logic switching the different connectors, it would fry devices if you ever plugged in more than one wondering what would happen. USB is not made to be "splittable" like this and you'd end up feeding wrong voltages to devices and possibly crossing their data lines.
