A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Another great example of why proprietary connectors are stupid as hell. I'm going to be upset when my 2DS XL charger breaks and I can't get an easy replacement.
Thankfully, at least recently, most devices have settled on only a few standards. And some older devices can be modded to work with newer ports. I know rhere are some mods to add a usb-c port to the 2ds, and from what I understand they're not too difficult to do.
Also thanks to the EU forcing the manufacturers (of smartphones at least) to go for the same standard
The newest law covers pretty much everything one could think of being powered by usb, and more, especially now that with usb-c it can deliver higher voltages and currents, not just 5V/2A.
Yes. I have and will be doing type C conversions a lot.
