U = R x I

volts (U, probably 19VDC) is constant. The laptop has a resistance ®. This means that the laptop has already dictated the amount of currents (I) that it pulls. You can connect an 100A charger to an phone. The phone dictates howmuch it actually pulling. There is no battery damage/harm in doing so.

If you charge a battery at full-speed, It can heat up. This is in the long term bad for (Lithium) batteries. That’s where the myth might come from?

*fixed formula order

For USB-C: Tiny little side note here, there are some cheap small-size adapters that overheat. Some adapters thotle down, but some rare ones just blink power on and off, which is bad for lithium batteries.

Search a good brand, preferably reviewed, and GAN-type. Spend a bit more than the cheapest. Check if it has the right protocol (probably Power Delivery at some voltage) to make sure it charges at a normal speed.

For a DC charger like OP asked. Match polarity, match Voltage. And at least match the current/watage to make sure you can charge in a reasonable amount of time

It’s also fridge+freezer, and it’s 24.86kWh for this year so far.

117.1kWh/180d = 0.65kWh a day (about 26W per hour)

I like how our measurements do not line up perfectly what I (and others) expect. I for example would have expected the cook top to use much more energy

GAN is not just faster and smaller, it’s side effect is also efficiency.

But it’s currently still a high end way of going power switching. So it’s more expensive, so not all power supplies use it yet

House power wise our biggest users are AC appliances (heat pumps) they do not benefit from a more efficient DC adapter.

A phone at 5000mah who charges every day from 0-100% would use 5Ax4.2Vx365d = 7,665 Kwh x €0,22 = €1,68 (excluding efficiency loses). This is too small to make reasable investments in phone adapters. But I do see that a better computer power supply (when use regularly) can make a difference to your power bill

A pro is that is not Windows 11

You forgot the 1/3 part (hope that is the brain part)

I’ve found our UK friend

Power button? Reset button? PSU switch? Clear CMOS button?

Let’s try and press them all!

Jan-Kees -> Yankee

Intestine material to see how USA has the hole in the bottum with WAX. TIL I have always (EU) had the hole in the back and it has a rubber push seal

What’s wrong with executing the parrent?

Add the Displayport! Which doesn’t even allow hot-swapping, I keep needing to turn my computer off…

It doesn’t have a simple “paint” or “paint.net”

Best option is a new seperate drive of course.

But besides that I can recommend making a image of the drive ans storing it somewhere. This way you can flash everything back, there would be a ton of applications that would not run if you try and restore the files only.

Last option should be to customly copy files from folders around. This would not guarantee you can restore Windows. But you maybe would be able to restore config at a much lower storage amount

Super cool! You need to share it when your done

Cudos to you! Doing good

Any changes on some information or links to replicate this? Paint.net is currently a berry big reason duo boot into windows

There is a windows registry hack to set the shutdown wait time for 1s and that did fix it for me. But every update they turn it back to unlimited.

(I ended up installing Linux, I only have the dnf5daemon server holding the shutdown up for atnost 5min now. But I haven’t tried to fix it)
