A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Time for USB-C micro and mini!

Most devices are still on USB 3.1, so there is a room for growth.

That being said, newest USB protocol supports 240w charging and 20gbps transfer rates. It's good even for next generation laptops, not even talking about phones

that being said, there is no standard indicator for ports, chargers, and cables to signify what charging speed they support.

Sure, usb c can technically do 240W, but most people use crappy chinese cables which will do max 5W and blame it on the usb specification

No exposed hardware ports seems to be the direction it's been moving towards

You mean sealed black boxes

This could mean that OP has either +100 usb chargers, or a fraction of a non-USB-C charger

This implies you have at least 100 chargers and 1 isn't USB C

If companies can stop cheaping out on their USB-C ports that'd be cool.

USB-C will be destroyed by Romulans and next we will have USB-D.

Heh at my age (and growing up with computers since the 90s well earlier but I didn't know cables well) I assume there's a new one next time I blink. Also at my age I don't realize I blink as often as I do. So just shrug buy the cables your devices need and not worry too much. Mean it sucks yeah, I got tons of USB cables I never use anymore, but it's how it goes. Much slower than it used to at least so less issue to complain. If they ever settled on some port that'd work for over 10 years I'd prefer that of course.
