Conseguido un #Thinkpad X40 (Pentium 1500 MB, 1200 MHz) en el rastro por 15 eur. En perfecto estado, incluso el disco duro de 40 GB y la batería funcionan. Pero solo dura 40 minutos por lo que lo alimento a 15V por #USBC #PD con un power bank de 20Ah, o una fuente de red de 16V.

This is the weirdest cable I own. It's a retractable USB-C 60W cable with Lightning and USB-A adapters attached. I don't know what its data speed; it might be power only.

The max wattage reduces depending on which adapters you have attached.

I have kept it in my bag as backup charger for a few years. I think I've needed to use it maybe twice.

I have a friend that hates #UsbC. Apparently the cable is inferior to #Lightning wrt/ speed and stuff. IDK, never noticed an issue. But what I do agree with is that USB-C connectors have, in principle a really bad, fundamental design mistake: They protect $ cables from being damaged while leaving way more fragile piece on the $$$ device.

Does anyone understand why this USB-C PD AC adapter (left) can't charge this USB-C PD power bank (right)? They both claim 5V, 9V and 15V at 3A plus 20V at 2.25A, shouldn't they be able to agree on at least one of those?

I don't mean the power bank charges slowly FWIW, I mean it doesn't charge *at all*. Though it lights up to indicate it's powered. The AC adapter powers everything else just fine and the power bank can charge from other things just fine.
