I knew he wouldn't let me down.
... but how long 'a future', I wonder? Technology changes very rapidly. Not that many years ago, few things were charged via USB. Any bets on whether, in a decade or so's time, whatever we're then using to charge most things will plug into a 2016-installed USB socket?Almost every small device I own now charges via usb. ... They are for sure the future.
That's already true of most mobile phones and many tablets etc. (and probably many other things), isn't it?I read somewhere, that this was all prompted by the amount of chargers going too landfill, im quessing the next move is the products will come with leads only and no mains adapter.
You did not dream it. It depends on the product. Some of them - the dedicated MK USB socket for instance are only powered when something is plugged into one of the USB sockets.ISTR that when we last discussed this here, it emerged that some of them only switched on power to the PSU when a USB plug was inserted. Or did I dream that?I just don't like the idea of a small transformer that is always on regardless of any load behind a socket.
So that there will be USB chargers complete with the double 13A socket they're incorporated into going into landfill instead?I read somewhere, that this was all prompted by the amount of chargers going too landfill, im quessing the next move is the products will come with leads only and no mains adapter.
It's not very long since they phone manufacturers (except Apple, of course) agreed to standardise on the smaller of the two co-axial plugs then in use.I read somewhere, that this was all prompted by the amount of chargers going too landfill, im quessing the next move is the products will come with leads only and no mains adapter.
Whats the technoligy called that charges wireless toothbrushes and some phones, maybe thats the future, some sort of magnetic feild generater
For example; by a bed, the best chance scenario is a twin socket. If you have a phone and a smartwatch (both devices that require charging daily) that's game over. No space for a mains clock, bedside light etc.
They are for sure the future.
