Born at less than 320ppm CO₂.
Programmer and bus driver. It’s a long story :-)
Based northern UK & Scotland
Europhile, especially since I worked 1½ years in north Holland.
Currently: C#, C, the language that shall not be named
#Assembly (for fun) on Intel PC and IBM #mainframe (emulated, these days. Download and unzip “TK4-” and you can play, as well).
Also other things, including a compiler for a new language. That should be ready in a decade. Or 2.
@PsychologicalDrone What cable are you using? If 1 cable links all these failures, try a good quality cable.
Also beware of fake goods on Amazon–I’ve had more success with small town independent sellers on Ebay.
I use this cable

with this charger at work.

At home I use official Framework charger, which came with EU mains plug, with a standard C5 (also known as ‘cloverleaf’) cable that has a UK plug.
@wheelchaircutie To deliver enough power to run a laptop, one of the fast charging standards needs to be negotiated.
To do that, the charger, the cable and the laptop all need to be right.
I find the Framework charger and cable work fine at home, a Ugreen Nexode 65W GaN works fine with a double-ended high power (PD) USB-C cable at work.
Everything else trickle charges overnight with the laptop off, but won’t charge while it’s turned on.
Just a wrong cable can prevent high power delivery.
@korypostma @SaltyPlans I would, if I could find a recent guide for adding Windoze 7 or 8.1 (last versions I trust or need) to a working Fedora 38 on my Intel Framework’s SSD :-)
@PsychologicalDrone n.b. For those who like to use official Framework kit, they’ve announced a charger with the UK cable “coming soon”.
