> The problem with USB-C is that you can't just pick up a device cable and power brick and expect them to work together.

We clearly need more regulation.



Indeed, but this isn't the regulation we need unfortunately


We need more color codes and symbols maybe?


Honestly I think we need different ports. My laptop can already draw more power than the charger that came with it can provide, it's insulting for it to pretend it is charging when I plug a 5w a to c charger into it.

Enforcing USB pd as a standard would be another acceptable one.
