I love that pretty much everything short of heavy appliances you can think of comes in 12v 10a max cigarette plug or USB now. USBC PD -to -dc plug adapter is fuck in awesome
Never really thought about it, but everything being powered by USB has been extremely convenient for the last few years. When did this happen? I'm sitting here watching my flashlight charge with my phone's power cord, and it never occurred to me that that's rad as hell
I have a USB-PD wall plug and a battery that are both capable of 100W charging.
I use the same charger and cable to charge my laptop, phone, headphones, wireless mouse, soldering iron, and the portable battery (which itself can also charge all the others) Probably a bunch of others I'm forgetting.
It has significantly reduced the number of chargers and cables I need to carry around. I only buy usb-c capable accessories now.
Anyone who ever has to do some soldering on the go should check out the Pinecil soldering iron from Pine64, it's a great tool at a truly incredible value and it can do 85W soldering from a USB-PD battery (or wall charger)
I love it so much! Feels like we are finally approaching a true universal connector now (after like 30 years and half a dozen revisions since USB 1.0) My favorite USB thing currently is an extremely energy efficent electric blanket. It may only consume 10w (its just standard USB not PD) but it keeps me surprisingly warm during the winter night and doesnt eat into my limited power. No 3 hour shutoff either it stays on all night.
The fact that USBC PD 3.0 can pump out up to 100w is just nuts
