literal child's play

there's gray too

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/07/raspberry-pi-4-uses-incorrect-usb-c-design-wont-work-with-some-chargers/

tldr: some "smart" chargers regonise the pi as audio adapter and wotn charge them due single resistor on 2 cc pins isntead of 1 per each

after note you need "smart" charger AND a fucking E-tier cable to get the bug out

Also will be fixed in next rev

i'll never understand why engineers feel the need to do this

if there's a reference design in a datasheet i'm sure as hell yeeting it

if it works with whats on your desk why wouldnt it work on every conceivable combination of chargers and cables? surely usb c isnt a giant unlabeled mess

im being sarcastic about what might have happened

they like to pull that shit with videogames. sometimes theyll be awful on only amd or require specifically the latest i7 and nvidia meme to get over 60 fps and have to be eventually patched to fix it

no matter how professional someone is, sometimes they goof up

and sometimes enough people goof up in a row for the goofs to reach the consumer

usb c for consumers is a pretty big clusterfuck yes

but for people making the device, no

i don't really see the parallel with videogames

completely different thing

god bless terry

he was too pure for this world

So they can't fix the pi 4 with a bios firmware or something? Lol

its due hardware so no

basicly "smart chargers + smart cable" thinks its audio device if it does not have 2 resistor but only 1 shared resistor

and as raspbi for some reason or other used 1 shared resistor the "smart" chargers regonize it wrong

and shit the bed

it does not matter to any normal charger or etc system

just for the smart chargers

so if you happen to use "smart"charger and/or type-e "smart" usb-c cable it wont work properly ??

Type-e = Electronical Marking/Electronicaly Marked cable what has microship,resistors and larger price tag

what generaly are used only for devices what specialy require some power-modes

standard probly says something about amp-limits or "gen 1 compatitly" bullshit too what considers "EMCA" circuitry etc

people smarter than me can correct me if i have misunderstood any part of that

how does amd fare in the mobile cpu market?

upcoming laptop stuff is not yet in market .. few ryzen desktop replacement laptops aand thats about it

then there are those 2500u/3700U and their brethen what are tolerable but nothing to write home about really

so i5-i7 still dominate right

depends what you need

but usualy its safer bet unless you know your usecase accurately (aka needs those cores/support whatever

my non tech friend asked me and i dont follow laptop tech so i had to ask just in case
