finally took a few minutes to solve a real world UI problem
@ethanschoonover but what voltages, that's even more important

@aliceif @ethanschoonover the only time I've really cared about voltages is when I'm using a PD-trigger cable.

It is really convenient to run a tiny cube charger to a 12v external hard drive, so much better than the drive's included brick. The stupid part is that newer chargers *don't support* 12v anymore.

Let me repeat - newer chargers have PPS where you can ask for any voltage from 5-20v. BUT YOU CAN'T JUST ASK FOR TWELVE.

@rotopenguin @ethanschoonover not necessarily.
I have a 65W GaN charger that has both PPS and the static 12V profile.

But yes few things are more annoying when some shit phone is limited to 15W instead of 18W charging on an otherwise overkill charger because the latter is dongled behind PPD instead of being available on the 9V profile
@aliceif lol, what a weird brick. I didn't think there was that twilight zone between the "we're peeling off all the 12s and replacing them with 15s" and the "we're now doing PPS" standards.
