How about a Universal Serial Bus - that'd do it, wouldn't it?

I wish someone would come up with a universal rf connector for mobile phone/gps etc connections.
The number of connector types is astounding. Drives me nuts.
Same problem, different phy.

USB C, well just run on down to the shops and buy a Mac.
but seriously the department stores that sell PC's and iplods usually sell various adapter cables, seeing as the iplod has USB C they would probably have charging cables ... these days even some $1 shops have them.

I have a converter. Swim across to Netherlands and take it.
Or, if you have a power bank, they generally give the converters too. Plug in power bank (USB 2.0?) to computer, connect it to device. Done.

That's more or less all the code running in production servers around the World. It is product of "We only have (insert ridiculously low time duration here) and you need to deliver this component."

I like it here. People are good, the city is nice and there are plenty of places for my son to have fun. We don't know anyone around so sometimes it gets boring. Still amazed by your fascination with calendars and plans. Got an invite in July for a barbecue in September.

30 Watts? have to be quick! USB-C seem to melt quicker than A's or B's and they were fast!
But you said it not me, If I was in Griff's position I would break out the iron...

You're right, of course.
Given that it's about computer tech, I should have linked to this one[^].

Ha!
How could anyone be expected to use that on a USB port on the edge of a laptop?!?
My solution is obviously more practical.

Male / Female - its all fluid these days. Just have the cable identify as female (or male - whatever you need) and everything will be good.
