Some of what you said about appearances of women vs men have to do with toxic culture. 50 yo man with gray? Hot dad bod. 50 yo woman with gray? Past her prime. It’s complete crap and enforces unhealthy habits. Not that you believe these things, but “society” does.
Could they even be hot swapped? I don’t remember trying. I remember my dad getting a CD-RW drive with a USB-A connector, I had to reboot to get the computer to recognize it, but that was Windows 95 or 98.
Because of all the pins involved with USB, I think these would end up bring more like the mouse plugs of yore. USB C seem pretty awesome to me for this scenario.
As for a “wall” plug, given the voltage there, maybe there are technical challenges with safety? This is an interesting thought to me, i haven’t really thought much about wall plugs haha. There is so much room for improvement in my country (USA).

Well the US is proving to be quite the black sheep.
Really glad she has you to work with her! I’m not really familiar with barn manners but it sounds like a fun session.
At this point I am not sure if I am glad I switched to SAVE or I wished I hadn’t 🤷♂️ probably doesn’t matter.
For most of us, 2 comes before 1 unless you mean my own leg. But seriously, I like the list 🙂
Agreed. Except for one time last fall, I knew it was going to happen and did it anyway, thru the company’s website. That one company had their own portal and everything, didn’t know it came from amazon until it arrived 🤷 I’ll do it again! If I was selling stuff I am sure I would have to look at these few options out there.
Great point. The limited times I have purchased from Amazon in recent history was accidentally in this manner. I think that purchasing directly from the creator’s/company’s website might send a message that some folks would like an alternative, but I don’t know that. Either way, it is less amazon.
I see. I bought my first laptop in 2013 (used), and by then I was pretty ensconced in Linux. That machine didn’t have those ports.
