This is the ideal body. You may not like it, but this is what peak computing looks like.

Edit: Now only if those four SSDs didn't have to share only 4 PCIe lanes among them...

Seriously, this thing comes in Intel N100/N150 and N305/N355 configurations

@odoben Apply 220v AC your iPhone will definitely not regret 220v AC.

@odoben I have several questions, and I am not sure I want them answered.

@odoben central question: is this a passive adapter or does it contain a controller speaking USB-PD and do I get open 5v, 12v or 20v?

@mxk All of them appear to have 5V written on them and there are separate input and output pieces so it looks very much non-PD

ying_laugh_sweat

@odoben that's the boring version I expected 😅

@mxk Found one that does 5-20V but manually
