How about display port that looks like HDMI? Oh wait…
You Villain!
No, how about DVI that looks like HDMI? Hold on…
Explaination: basically HDMI is patent-troll-guarded version of DVI with some additional(and useless or actively harmful) stuff
It’s not the same without two little screws jangling about
I had fuckin bent pins and pins falling out of my vga connector. I had to straighten them and align them. Good times.
You could take the screws out of your iPhone and glue them onto the knobs, it’ll void your AppleCare though.
this is the most comments I’ve seen on lemmy. now i know the community I’m in. God help me.
Leave a factually incorrect, unprompted whataboutism about socialism or communism in a thread criticizing capitalism and I bet you could rival this comment count.
Ha. I like the vga part but the part that makes your usb - c connector look like an old fashioned proprietary apple lightening connector is just too much!
Thank you for pointing that out, I didn’t notice it lmao
(I think that was a joke, it IS actually a lightning cable)
Yeah I’m not entirely sure, but it WOULD be possible to print a sticker like that
I know, I had to look at it for a while but the side edges in the pictures are rather sharp while a USB connector would have a completely round edge…
But which side would you put it on?
The outside
That reminds me of a joke about a dead baby and a blender.
Yes officer. This post over here.
No, seriously, why am I offended. This is offensive to me.
Because that stupid proprietary connector is now illegal in the EU YAAAAY
An ethernet cable that’s actually wired for a serial port
looks at network hardware vendors
Sounds like someone accidentally used the wrong port a few times.
That’s what she said?
A power plug, but the three-prong ones like we have in the UK. The two lower prongs would appear to be plugged into the phone, and the top prong would just hover uselessly above the phone.
Bonus points for following the shape of the plug properly and having the cable come out of the bottom of the wall wart, so the phone can never lat down flat while it’s charging.
This is evil. I love it.
Holy shit, man - who crapped in your doritos?
Yes, yes and hell yes.
Make it look like an old Apple 30-pin.
That could actually be one of the more confusing ones.
Especially on an Android phone :-)
Terrible ideas:
- Garden hose
- NEMA 10-50 - each “prong” could be a different connector
- CCS
- USB-A
- Quick-connect air coupler
The first one reminds me of this classic
I would want an RJ45 charger.
I wish things actually used this, it looks really stable.
