Apparently a lead capable of powering a 3kW kettle at 13A wasn't good enough for his precious mac. Then I pointed out the notch in it which indicated it was heat resistant and he shut up. You mean the Apple ones are not magical? Nope, it's all a big con by Jobs.... er.... whatever his new incarnation is called. Actually the cord is not $37 or something like that. What is it then? Because most cords are much cheaper than that. In fact at my last place of work I bought a job lot on Ebay for £50. About 400 of them. Did the same with SCART leads. I only needed about 10, the other 390 I just sent a global email and placed them in a corridor with a sign saying "please take one". They went fairly quick. You can find them on the Apple Store as easily as I. Under $20... do not remember. Still way too much for a kettle lead. I know I have never bought one (alone). -- Personal attacks from those who troll show their own insecurity.

The answer now I think of it is yes. An engineer once told me you can get er... I forget the name, but it's got the word male and female in it. The outer shell can be one sex and the inner another. Something to do with pins in a shroud or something. one example of many: https://cdn.sparkfun.com//assets/parts/1/2/6/4/12748-01.jpg https://cdn.sparkfun.com//assets/parts/7/3/6/3/11476-01.jpg So what are they called? There is an official name for the LGBTQXDEF plugs..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial_power_connector I use net gender. The one that's put on the board is female, since the part that sticks out is still within the part that sticks in. The one on the cord is male since it sticks out more. On power carrying situations, the source end should be female. Which means, if the female connector is dropped onto a steel plate, there is no danger of the connector shorting out. The conductors should be shaped, to discourage coincidental contact. The higher the voltage, the more attention to detail required. Yet, on this page and others, the sense of the barrel case seems to be different. If you compare the logic to how they figure out the other ones, the barrel declaration doesn't make sense to me. https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials...wer-connectors Paul |

Um, the title at the top of the graph, is the "year version" of the test software. It's a 2016 test suite, executed in a later year. You might use a 2016 test suite, to test and compare materials from 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019. The more times you can reuse the *same* test suite, the taller the graphic gets because you have more entries. Those graphics don't become that tall, by the reviewer being lazy. But eventually, a test suite no longer does a good job of teasing out nuances in new devices, and then you have to make a new test suite. Then the graphic has practically no entries in it - they don't really like to go back and retest all those devices, if those devices are no longer on-site and were returned. You can see how the dating thing works, in their "Benches" stuff. https://www.anandtech.com/bench/GPU13/583 Paul |

That's asking for trouble, like my neighbour plugging a USB cable into an ethernet port. nothing like that at all. micro-usb3 was designed that way and it's fully supported. The general public should not be encouraged to push a round thing into a square hole. micro-usb is neither round nor square. Seriously? The analogy confused you that much? The average IQ is 100, which is abysmal. even someone with an iq of 100 understands backwards compatibility. But 50% of people are below that average. |
