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

For Enschouded it uses all cores before skipping, but only 2 when skipped. So I generally press launch and then set up everything else. And then press skip later when I’m ready to play

Subscriptions aren’t the only sustainable model. Linux, Blender, VLC are actively maintained without requiring every user to pay a recurring fee. They rely mostly on donations, or one-time funding. And it works

A subscription may be a good model for some apps where they have high user-level server cost. But anywhere else I refuse

Let me correct that for you:

“USA taxes are hard”

Yhea I prefer my tax return to be error-free

‘doesn’t make there products intentionally shit’ and ‘competition shoots themzelfs in the head’. I think I know why they are winning the race

• Does it also come with HDMI CEC?

• Does it come with good basically lifetime support?

• Would it get developers optimise for that exact hardware?

• Would it run as quit and efficient?

I’d you just going for raw hardware speed. And don’t care about anything else. You can always make a faster system yourself.

But I know enough people who don’t dare to touch anything near a custom computer, who are looking into this cube
