To a little kid, it's a whole different perspective. Peer pressure is an ugly thing. Your kid can feel ashamed or insecure just because their friends goes to Disney and they're not.

Make sure they understand that too, not just yourself.

    It's a $80 GAN charger from Ugreen and the C-to-C cable that came with my iPhone.

    I would be a big sad chump if it's a faulty brick. But thanks, I'll find a way to troubleshoot that.

    Hi, so should I just grounded the neutral wire from the fuse box (the one that goes from the pole into the house) instead of running a ground wire to each devices?

    cordlesslamp , (edited ) to Ask Lemmy in If I have a USB powered device, could I leave it plugged into a portable power bank (like the kind you charge your phone with) as a power outage backup?

    That's old power banks from decade ago. Majority if not all reputable powerbank brands now have charge passthrough.

    Some will charge your device to full first, then disconnect the device and charge itself second.

    Some will slowly charge both the device and the powerbank itself (I emphasize the Slowly part, probably at 5V 0.5A).

    For OP, look for something on the packaging that indicates it have the mentioned above function.

    HOWEVER! No good powerbanks will work as a UPS. Because they have built-in protection that will disconnect the power when fully charged or turn itself off when the plugged in devices is full.

    I said "good powerbanks" because cheap, no-name one doesn't have those protections and will keep on trickle charging both itself and the devices, which is really bad.

    Also, as a rule of thumb, you DO NOT want to plugged in your lithium battery at all times and keep it at 100%. That's the recipe for disaster waiting to happen.

    A cheap or 2nd-hand acid-battery UPS can be bought for as little as $30-$50 on Ebay, even the smallest one will be capable of powering the noise machine for days.

    my pc case shocked me when I touched it, not a huge shock like live wires but enough for you to feel a little pain (like static shock on winter day). My phone charger also shocked me the same way when i touched the metal part of the USB head.

    Why would they invented a plugs that's not grounded? (Type A and C)

    I fucking hate it because my country's default plugs is type C. Caused me so much trouble in damaged electronics, shocked, and the effort to make a grounded line for each individual electronics myself.

    cordlesslamp , to Asklemmy in Does anyone have any instructables or ideas on how to make my car sound like a Tie Fighter as I drive around?
