Non-standard as in there’s no standard in cables. Some support fast charging some don’t. Some support hdmi, some don’t support data at all. They won’t catch fire to anything. If the bricks are under powered because they were meant for a kids toy it won’t catch fire, it just won’t charge as fast.

If a manufacturer suddenly decides to support 500W charging, none of us will have the gear to support that and companies like Anker or UGREEN will be more than willing to price gouge the cables and bricks we would need. It’s already happening at 65W.

With so many non-standard cables and chargers, it’s crazy to me that this is what manufacturers want their customer experience to be. My mom had no idea she was trickle charging for over a year until I visited. Neither the brick or the cable was capable of fast charging. She said it took all night to charge, like that’s a normal thing. She’s not into electronic tech and I’d imagine she’s not the only one in the world.

Ah. That makes sense, but it also makes it seem disingenuous. Usually you just shop them shoulder to shoulder from different sources. Seeing this on a tiny phone screen didn’t help either.

Why does this pic seem so creepy and photoshopped?

They live or they die. That’s all I meant by 50/50.

Hey, man! What do you have against sharks? They need food too. Euthanize them and OSHA and 9 other agencies will have a say in how the carcasses are disposed of “safely”.

I do agree with you though, I wish the options weren’t so binary.

50/50 chance they survive in the wild. 100% chance they die by being euthanized. Even if they die in the wild, they will feed the eco system. Even domesticated animals will eat their deceased owners when they get hungry enough. The only animal I can think of that won’t eat when hungry is a lonely guinea pig.

Uhhhh, how about try? If the options are to euthanize them or give them a fighting chance in the wild, they should just release them near or around another pod. The hubris of man to think animals can’t survive without them. They aren’t domesticated. If they’re hungry and see a fish swim by they’d be like “where’s the hairless ape’s hand to feed me?”.
