My home office room is modest in size, and that’s being generous. Yet it contains an amazing 17 devices/appliances currently plugged into mains electrical outlets, and several more which are currently disconnected.
Of these 17, more than half are fed through some kind of external DC adapter, or ‘power brick’. When I travel, several of these travel with me (brick and all) - when I can disentangle them from the rat’s nest on the floor.
Isn’t it time our homes and offices were equipped with mains DC power, as well as AC? Perhaps some sort of 3-pin plug supplying 12V, 5V and ground - that should satisfy most kinds of mobile device. I’m sure this presents technical challenges, but the current situation is just getting silly.
