When I plug in my USB charger, the phone or laptop says some variation of "TurboPower Charging" "Fast Charging", "Slow Charger Connected". This is very annoying. Why can't the device just show me the negotiated USB wattage, versus the maximum wattage the device supports? If people don't like numbers or scientific units, devices can display charging bars looking vaguely like a mobile signal strength indicator.

The #AbundanceMovement: "#EzraKlein is one of the few regular New York Times opinion columnists, and when he publishes new columns people pay attention. He also hosts a podcast, The #EzraKleinShow, that at writing sits at #11 on Apple Podcasts’ rankings. Derek writes for The Atlantic and hosts his own podcast, #PlainEnglish, for the Ringer. Both men have made appearances on a number of other podcasts, from Bill Simmons to Gavin Newsom and Richard Hanania. As a result, the book is #2 on the Times’ list of bestselling nonfiction books, also placing high on Amazon’s rankings. Given how concerned many left-of-center people are about the next few years, #Abundance and its proposals will be key in the coming debates."
