Yeah, who hooks a portable generator up to their laptop without using a surge protector??
The caps in the power supply should be enough to eat the noise in that power source.
That model (yamaha ef2000) has an inverter. Nice and quiet, too. Little fucker is touchy about the fuel, though.
I mean, if you like to live dangerously, sure. Those power supplies can be expensive, though, and surge protectors are dirt cheap.
Used official ones are like $20 on ebay.
To be fair, a lot of those are counterfeit.
Not used. Nobody really sells knockoff chargers used.
Also in the age of USB C it's not even relevant. At this point I just buy USB C to whatever laptop charger port I need.
Lol, how is this not more common in the answers? Lotta people on Lemmy don't know how to use a generator...
That shit also isn't grounded, though I think some specific generators may be alright without that.
