Kit Bashir

#RejectOfTheDay This 12-port USB charging station has three banks of regulated ports, with a capacity totalling 30A. It can deliver about 4A total before it starts to sag. It will put all its power down one port if you're not careful. I took one port up to 8A before I started to fear for my sanity.

Key features
* All ports in parallel
* No regulation or isolation whatsoever
* Voltage sags drastically under load
* Marked current limit/cacpacity is pure lies
* Your horror here

Hey Siri, how much current can you pump through a USB-A port before the plastic bits melt together?

@Unixbigot Why does that look like something made in the mid 80s?

@rainynight65 @Unixbigot the fonts and their combination are actually kind of cool - in a very trashy way!
