I'm only half kidding. I'm a bit of a prepper and I have lots of powerbanks and devices that charge from USB but besides idling my truck I really had no other way to charge any of them in case of a long-term power outage which seemed a bit of an oversight on my part.

Not like this solves the issue. 30 watts (under ideal conditions) isn't much but it's a start.

Sure, a very small one, with a battery. My smartphone will charge off 5W.

I've got a mini Dremel that will charge off 5W USB. It ain't gonna be fast, but it will definitely work.

You're batting 0/3, still want to keep trying?

Strange how you ignored the example of yours that I specifically pointed out in the comment on just replied to - a pc.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Strange that you think "computer" must only mean "PC".

Still 0/3 btw. Why don't you quit while you are only this far behind?

Still ignoring it hey? It’s cool you think you’re winning though. Good job.
