[–] theKalash@feddit.ch 12 points 3 years ago (1 child) Will go up to 48V (240W) with the next USB-PD standard. But as long as it's reputable hardware that actually implements the starndard, I'm not too worried. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jsveiga@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) 48V and we're back to POTS (plain old telephone system) voltages :-) I agree, but that's the problem even from reputable sources, glitch happens. Old 5V-only chargers would need much more things to go wrong to fry our devices. A 20V (or 48V !) one is just a small (sw or hw) glitch away to zap a device that doesn't support such voltages. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] theKalash@feddit.ch 3 points 3 years ago The USB standard is usally really robust and the changes of SW errors is small. If you have a good brand laptop it will probably come with very reliable charger as well. I really don't worry about it. permalink fedilink source parent
