Honestly USB-C. It is getting added to electrical outlets. Super small, basically impossible to get electrocuted being low voltage DC.
Works in every country.
Yeah but like, USB-C can't power a washing machine
When the Apple car is released, the EU will invent 350 kW DC fast charging via USB-C ๐
True but how often are you unplugging and plugging in a washing machine?
Generally speaking higher powered devices have a higher chance you leave them plugged in.
Hmm. What about a vacuum cleaner? It can't be powered by USB-C.
I mean, that's only true if your vacuum sucks. If it doesn't suck, then USBC shouldn't make a difference.
Ironically, you'll find that all vacuums suck :)
Heh, I guess the sarcasm was lost. I know all vacuums SHOULD suck, but if it doesn't, then USBC wouldn't hurt, because it can't suck less.
Hahah I'm so stupid, I didn't get the joke myself and I tried to make the same joke
Sure your standard corded vacuums probably needs more power then what USB-C can provide. But alot of people are liking those cordless vacuums and I would bet money those could be charged off USB-C same with robotic vacuums.
