⚠️ Before replacing your charger or blaming your device, check the cable.
Many charging, data and display issues aren't caused by your laptop, phone or power adapter – they're caused by the USB-C cable in between.
A cable that looks perfectly fine can still limit charging power, reduce data speeds or prevent video output.
The BLE caberQU helps you see exactly what your cable is capable of in seconds.
Because troubleshooting starts with knowing your cable 🔌

Not all USB-C cables are created equal 🔌
Two cables can look exactly the same on the outside while offering completely different performance.
One cable might support:
⚡ Fast charging
💾 High-speed data transfer
🖥️ External displaysThe other? It might only charge your device.
The challenge is that you usually can't tell just by looking.
The BLE caberQU shows you exactly what your cable supports, so you always know which cable to use for the job ✅

⚡ Your charger gets all the credit... and all the blame.
But what if the real bottleneck is your cable? 🤔
Many charging issues aren't caused by the charger itself. A cable that can't handle the required power can slow things down, even when everything else is working perfectly.
🔌 Test your cable
📊 Check its capabilities
⚡ See how it's really performingBefore replacing your charger, it might be worth testing your cable first.

Merkittävä muutos läppäreihin lähestyy: parin viikon päästä kannettavissa tietokoneissa on pakko olla tarjolla latausmahdollisuus USB-C:n kautta
Laki sallii myös valmistajan oman latausliittimen käytön USB-C:n rinnalla, mutta USB-C -latausta on pakko tukea 28.4. alkaen julkaistavissa uusissa läppäreissä.

If you buy things on #AliExpress, you are going to get scammed every so often. Their buyer protection program is pretty decent, although it can be a bit of a pain to go through the process.
You can increase your chances of getting scammed by buying things where the #deals are too good to be true. When the deals are ludicrously, impossibly good, your chances increase to 100%.
This can be fun. I have bought a few things over the years that were obviously #scams. Once, I spent a few hundred dollars for two tablets that, if they had been real, were selling for about one tenth of what they should have. Seeing how they faked them being new products, when they were actually recycled ancient low-end tablets, was fascinating.
But I generally won't do that. Instead, I buy cheap stuff, trading a few dollars for the fun of seeing what the seller/manufacturer have done. I don't even try to get my money back on these.
So I recently bought a #USB #charger that I've been seeing for months. It's described as a 240W total output, gallium-nitride, USB-PD and QC-3.0 compatible, five-port charger. The genuine article from a reputable manufacturer, if it exists, must cost over CDN $100. This one was ... five bucks.
So I knew it was going to be interesting. It arrived today. It weighed more than expected, but all at one end. The case appears to be ultrasonically welded, so getting it open is destructive.

Saw an interesting USB-PD decoy device online. This one negotiates for 5A at 12V, so 60W total. Its form factor is just a short cable, with a USB-C plug on one end, and ... a 3.5mm socket on the other.
I see no possible way this could go wrong.
😆 🤦♂️ 🌩️ 🔥

Das FNB48S kann sowohl passiv im Pfad messen, was ein Verbraucher ausgehandelt hat (Strom, Spannung), und die Daten über Bluetooth ausgeben, als auch aktiv ein Netzteil nach PD und früheren "Standards" befragen, und kann USB-A, -C und micro-USB.https://www.fnirsi.com/de/products/fnb48s
Die Menüführung ist allerdings ziemliches Shittium, und das Handbuch hilft nicht gut.

I was testing a mini module (CKCS U1E 65w) for USB charging from a DC source to many USB C protocols.
I've noticed with "vooc" charge at 9v 3.3A the inductor's module is at 90°c
A bit high moreover if it has an enclosure as this one:

Got a Surface Laptop Studio 2? Or just need a 100W+ USB-Power Delivery charger?
My new favorite charger is the "Anker Prime Charger, 160W 3-Port (140W on a single port). Perfect for a power-hungry laptop+smartphone.

I drooled all over this when it came around on #USBPD - It's stunning he could hang THAT MUCH off a PSU when most commercial wall units have a hard time coping with two 100w requests without derating/melting. Active/aggressive cooling ftw, I guess?

They are selling USB audio amps that use a USB-C shaped 5V port for power and a dedicated USB-B for audio. You really can't make this up!

Checked into a hotel in Perth and very excited to find the power sockets do #USBPD and #QuickCharge.

@s0 thanks for nerdsniping me into buying a pair of the GaN PSUs!
The EU variant is also too thick for the Type C "Europlug" sockets, but works well in Type F!
What surprised me is that they announce PD dual-role-power with a 20V/1.5A consumer, so they might be misunderstood as a powerbank by too smart PD devices?!
And it will (very slowly, ~3.5h) charge my idle ThinkPad L15, so might be a usable travel adapter after all!

ATOP just reviewed his stockpile of USB PD trigger boards - good stuff if you're shopping around in the "chinesium" eBay/Amazon/AliExpress pile for something that suits your needs:
(Warning: 'triggered' jokes. :( )

I've had my eye on these #USB power meters for a while. They come in lots of variations, with different ports and screens, but my big concern is how they handle USB power negotiation with various #fastCharging protocols. Does anyone have any recommendations for which devices handle #USBPD, #SuperVooc, and #QuickCharge?

CW: tech, computer, hardware
After getting some news today for Ryzen 7 8700G being at an all-time low price point, I thought about researching a little bit on ITX mainboards with AM5 socket. And then, I had the idea of looking for mainboards with USB power delivery _input_. It seems that there are none?! For almost a year now, I power my Minisforum UM780 XTX with the USB-C cable coming from my Dell WD19s docking station. While it seems pretty normal nowadays for laptop mainboard designs to acquire power via USB-C it still seems unthinkable to power a low power desktop setup via USB-C even with the extended power ranges up to 240 watts.

Noch ein Logo auf dem Netzteil? Dieses Mal aber ein sinnvolles. Wenn alles gut geht, muss es eine lesbare (!) Angabe des Watt-Wertes auf USB-Netzteilen geben. Logos des USB-Forums bleiben aber freiwillig.

The UGREEN Nexode 500W charger can deliver up to 240W of power over a single USB-C port, but it's also a multi-port charger with four more 100W USB-C ports and a USB-A port. All told, it offers up to 500W of power to multiple devices. Coming in March. https://buff.ly/40mLzf1 #UGREEN #UGREENNexode500W #USBPD
