Richard Gaywoodwell done to everyone involved in making usb so complicated that now the only way to understand what it's doing is to put diagnostic screens on charging cables
just a really solid set of decisions all the way down
Wulfy—Speaker to the machinesI like the wattage display in USB cables.
You can tell how powerful your charger is and how much the device is drawing. You would think it's an abstract luxury. But recently, my friend was travelling and through bad planning drained the phone totally flat. She had it on a charger for more than 24h and it was not coming up.
She was stressing, because these days ones whole life is on the device.
In the end. I used a powerful 2A tablet charger and the phone begun working again. Turns out this phone needed a powerful charger to "push" it over the threshold of life.
...also, it looks super geeky...
That is the real reason I love it.
