USB-C PD: New Technology Done Right
hackaday.com
There is a tendency as we get older, to retreat into an instinctive suspicion of anything new or associated with young people. All of us will know older people who have fallen down this rabbit hole…

I wanted to share this opinion on Hackaday about a topic that is the usefulness of a something that has become ubiquitous relatively fast.

This techonolgyy has a lot of potential, what do you think?

      Yeah, but they would be simpler but you would instead have to put powerful DC-DC converters in pretty much everything.

      It sounds like a solution to a problem which isn’t a big deal. In theory it might be nice but it works fine as it is. We know very well how home AC grids work and charging that would be a mess.

        powerful DC-DC

        No, are you not aware how these work?

        A step down DC-DC is nothing compared to a transformer rectifier or PD electronics with communication with a USB-C.

          Maybe, DC wiring at home will never happen though (except in the form of POE).
