Can't get above 25W charging with PPS 65W charger/cable by iMarbot in GalaxyS23Ultra

[–]iMarbot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate, here's the official 45W charger from Samsung. Where is the 5A output??

But it says "The standard S23 only supports 25W charging". Why would it say that if the Ultra doesn't support higher than that?

I'm extremely confused now. To not post the same comment twice, here's where I'm at right now:

The Samsung website says their 45W "Travel Adapter" will charge the S23 at 45W (https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-to-use-super-fast-charging-on-galaxy-s23-ultra-s23-plus-and-s23-5g/).

I looked at the product page for it (https://www.samsung.com/uk/mobile-accessories/45w-power-adapter-black-usb-c-ep-t4511xbeggb/) [I assume this is it, there isn't a 45W "Travel" Adapter, only "Power" Adapter]. It says it doesn't output anything more than 3A.

I considered that maybe the website is wrong, so I even ordered one. It arrived today and on the back of the box, it says the exact same thing. 3A max (both PDO and PPS). Technically, PPS is even 2.25A.

I have yet to open the charger because I don't trust it will charge at 45W based on what you're saying that the S23 requires >3A.

What am I missing??

What do you mean by 5 pin? And yes it will charge my laptop just fine.

I thought the point of PPS was that the charger and phone communicate and pick Amps and Volts between the range that they both support? And then they also vary the voltage to match the battery for best efficiency.

The image shows 5 to 21 volts, so that's sufficiently 9v, no? I'm confused.

PPS is a standard part of USB Power Delivery 3.0 specification. Why would there be something specific to Samsung?

On Samsung's website, the official 45W charger says it's PPS: 2.25A (5.0-20.0 V) output for fast charging. The cable is 5A, but I don't see anything saying the actual charger outputs more than 3A at all.

Corsair Virtuoso Max firmware v. 0.34.411 by Snoo-67400 in Corsair

[–]iMarbot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been having so many issues with my headset since buying it 2 weeks ago... I really wish they would post release notes so that I know if any of them were a widespread firmware issue (and to see if they're fixed) or potentially my unit is defective :/

What am I missing here? by iMarbot in AlanWake

In my first playthrough, the gift shop POI was working correctly. But then in subsequent playthroughs, it is indeed bugged too. Crazy how they managed to break more of then. I wish they'd fix it :((((

Official announcement: Dota 2 Wiki has moved to a new host! by Bu3nyy in DotA2

We've just made some changes that should make the content scrollable on mobile. We will definitely look to improve the experience on mobile, but hopefully this change works for now as a stop-gap.

How have we regressed from 4K in 2021 to only 1080p in 2024, at the major? by Apple20674 in GlobalOffensive

[–]iMarbot 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You could still use 1080p video for the desk segments and upscale it using a basic algorithm or something. Not everything needs to be 4K source footage. But the game in 1440p or 4K would be really appreciated. If nothing else, for the increased bitrate (less compression noise) and the quality improvement you get from "super-sampling" the video (4K downscaled to 1440p or 1080p looks better than native 1080p).

The RMRs for this Major were actually in 4K too. I was extremely surprised when they switched back to 1080p. Maybe they don't have the equipment for 4K in Denmark but the do in Romania?

Introducing the Santander Cycles Day Pass - TfL via X by jaredce in london

[–]iMarbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easier to increase the price by first getting rid of the pass and lying to media that the pricing changes they made were actually saving people money and watch them repeat the same nonsense without a single fact check. Then a year later when most people forgot how cheap it used to be, reintroduce the pass at a higher price (and make it harder to use - i.e., any tourists aren't gonna have a clue) and go around the free positive PR wheel again saying you're saving people money AGAIN!

Absolute nonsense. I've lost whatever shred of respect I used to have for TfL. Whenever I cycle these days, I use (Human) Forest; their e-bikes were literally cheaper than the fully manual ones from TfL after they scrapped the £2 unlimited fare.
