Ha. I like the vga part but the part that makes your usb - c connector look like an old fashioned proprietary apple lightening connector is just too much!

Thank you for pointing that out, I didn't notice it lmao
(I think that was a joke, it IS actually a lightning cable)
Yeah I'm not entirely sure, but it WOULD be possible to print a sticker like that

Yes officer. This post over here.
No, seriously, why am I offended. This is offensive to me.
Probably because the screws can’t be used!
Just gonna have to 3d print a phone case with the corresponding threads, I guess.

this is the most comments I've seen on lemmy. now i know the community I'm in. God help me.
Leave a factually incorrect, unprompted whataboutism about socialism or communism in a thread criticizing capitalism and I bet you could rival this comment count.
There was a thread this week about Biden's achievements and it got at least 600 comments haha.
Nice! I can definitely see how that would stir the pot. I've had a lot of good discussion on Lemmy, I really enjoy it.
I like it here too. It's smaller, nicer than... That other, silly place.

A power plug, but the three-prong ones like we have in the UK. The two lower prongs would appear to be plugged into the phone, and the top prong would just hover uselessly above the phone.
Bonus points for following the shape of the plug properly and having the cable come out of the bottom of the wall wart, so the phone can never lat down flat while it's charging.

I've seen a few renditions of this one so far:
At first I thought it was great standard connector. It turns out to be non-standard garbage.

I would want an RJ45 charger.
Why two different and incompatible options?
Or, more generally, why can't I ever read some USB spec and get out with less questions than I had in the beginning?
Probably for the same reason why they decided to rename USB 3.0.
I guess they had a liquor cabinet in the room where they held their meeting
Because for some reason, the USBIF has been hit over and over again with the stupid stick ever since USB2 came out.

Side note, does anyone know some sort of cable sleeve similar to this that instead grabs onto the device and stabilizes the port?
As much as I like type-C, the ports on my laptop have worn down significantly and aren't always stable
Depends on what you mean by stable.
It's likely dust in the port. If you gently clean it out with a toothpick or other small flat instrument you will get it to seat better. If dust is the issue, you should see some lint at the bottom of the port.

Terrible ideas:
- Garden hose
- NEMA 10-50 - each "prong" could be a different connector
- CCS
- USB-A
- Quick-connect air coupler

Print USB-A sleeves with the logo on the wrong side. People will be so surprised and confused when they can't plug the cable in on the first try!
A 24 pin mobo power connector just to strike ptsd into those who notice.

That is a work of art.
Hey, I'd buy it. Maybe, I mean money is pretty tight.
You inspired at least one print. Thankfully, I have blue filament on hand!
