nothing
at least nothing happened on my laptop when i did
if the charger is properly designed as is laptop nothing should happen yeah
but if someone cut corners it could (dont quote me on this one)burn laptops usb-controller
usualy the controllers are protected too these days with internal diodes etc
but seen them burn anyway~
in theory there'd probably be a tiny difference in the 5V coming from the charger and the 5V on the laptop, so you'd get a tiny current flow
but most usb devices should be protected against that
actually usb-c might be different
depending on what mode and what plug on the other side
on my machine they dont agree upon anything and nothing happens
does usb-c send current down the pipe if it does not handshake properly even ?
type-c -> type-c won't have vbus yeah
i just looked at the spec again
since the charger doesnt agree on input
it doesn't provide vbus until after negotiation
^
i thought it would provide 5V vbus and then do USB-PD negotation
though usbc negotiation is funny as fuck
nexus 5x doesnt work properly
and then pulling protection and shutting off when going near 3a
wasn't the switch (charger) fucky to begin with
yeah
i remember lots of people complaining about it
nintendo cant into hardware
still
I don't think my laptop will support usb-c charging and I probably won't try it
Probably not
But you may find one of those adapters that allows you to use USBC with your current charging barrel jack
Those exist for ThinkPads and other devices from what I've seen
and then you can pipe the laptops usb-c to its own barrel jack for unlimited energyyyyy
In this discord we obey the laws of thermodynamics
!no!
everything would be so much easier if we didnt
why even bother with anything
just lay back and accept the inevitable heat death of the universe
Usbc standards are wack
Oculus is releasing a 5 feet long usbc cable that charges and sends data using Fibre optics
Cause there are no good USB c cables out there that long
USBC confuses me to no end
