This dual-port charger can only output 45W of power when using one port at a time, with the output halved at 22W to each device when plugging in two simultaneously.

Yes. That's literally how max power ratings on devices like this work. And, to be that guy, even when plugging in two devices and getting 22.5W on each socket, the charger is still outputting 45W.

This feels like a paid advert written by Ikea's press department - not The Verge itself.

45kW wall charger holy hell lol

You could run like 5 houses off that chsrger

Lol. The perils of replying to Lemmy posts while in work mode.

Helluva Thunderbolt cable, eh?

Lmao I tried if DALLE could come up with such a cable, but it just generated some random shit

It's even better, using the much superior kolowats over the deprecated kilowatts

That's some excrepioncal capaaacity right there.

WHUT EXCREPOLITY

I wonder what it's trying to tell me 😳

Anyone speaking SimLLMish?

Not to be nitpicky but 45kW? That seems like a hell of a charger and I'd like to see the ISB-C cable that can handle that ;)

Thunderbolt v3 handles up to 100W. I have a 90W USB-C port on one of my monitors for just that purpose.

Edit: lol. I see my mistake. Edited. I deal in kW and MW for my job. I'll call it muscle memory.

And, to be that guy,

outputting

You can be that guy a little harder. It's okay.
