    The USB-C standard actually supports super high amperage charging, so we're almost back to barrel plug levels of energy!

        Can't get it backwards either. Fucking insane that no one thought about that sooner.

        There was the short fat of unshielded USB connectors with contacts on both sides, but I guess that turned out to be a bad idea because of liquid or something.

          I think USB-C cables are more expensive because you know... more wires. But they can do more at least.
