Having a USB-C charging standard is great. Until you get chargers like this one with USB-C connector and 9V. Using that would be a great way to kill some devices. Apparently, GTMEDIA just replaced the original DC port with USB-C without other changes to the device and the charger

@nijel USB-C can have a higher voltage, can't it? Up to 20, I believe.

It will default to 5, I believe, unless the connected device negotiates a higher voltage.

@mt this doesn't negotiate, this is just a DC power supply with USB-C instead of the original DC cylindrical connector.

@nijel That would be wrong ;)

@nijel @mt How tf is that legal to sell anywhere in the EU?

@liskin @mt @nijel Take this as a business opportunity to sell USB-C DC-DC converters.
