Have 2 more rare ones from Radio Shack...with the plug has a switch to choose your volts. Have one for the wall and one for car cigarette lighter.

Where can I Buy That LINE OF DIFFERENT SIZE ADAPTERS In your Video .. I think it was like 10 Different Size Adapters on a Holder . Thank You

can you share the link for the open source outlets you have? and the home assistant videos would be interesting

been knowing this for 35 years now i have a house full of these lol

That 15 v is for a soundbar

AC/DC all the way dude 🤣😂🤣😂 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Dang it, can you be my neighbor?

When I was first learning about electric and electronic devices volts and amps were explained to me in a very easy to understand comparison. Look at it like liquid plumbing. The diameter of the pipe would be the amps, controlling how much electric can pass through, and the volts would be the pressure the electric is under. That kind of helps someone understand why volts really hurts and amps are really deadly. Both of them together at a high number really fry you.

Powers has a good video course, it definitely contributed towards my passing score.

This is consistent with what I was taught many years ago. I once worked at an industrial plant doing IT, and I had a couple of random power supplies and devices floating around. The electrical supervisor at the plant gave me this advice to match them up: 1. The voltage of the power supply needs to be within 1 volt of the device it's powering. Most devices have a tolerance they will operate within, so if you're 1 volt over or 1 volt under, it should be fine. He emphasized not to go more than 1 volt out of spec. 2. The amperage of the power supply needs to be equal to or greater than what the device draws.

when i compressed using bz2, gz & xz, gz showed the least space taken.. hmm

Great! Now teach how to use all my old 110V power supplies in a 230V country?

What about all these 12v

Yeah Sean, I totally agree. These psu's will very often be useful for another device whose power supply has popped. The EU has forced mobile phone makers to standardize on the plugs and sockets (mostly USB) It is a pity notebook computers haven't gone the same way and seem to use many different plugs even though the charging voltage is almost always 19v and wattage 60 watts to 90 watts. Thats why the universal power supplies we can buy come with a whole array of different plugs !

The other great thing is your recycling the adapter

why does the folder have 2 links when we do the stat cmd?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Please be careful with this advice this can be scary if you're charging a battery you don't really want to overcharge you don't know what's going on

2 years since a comment NICE JOB!!

I love my sorted and labeled power supply stash!

Thank Shawn, I am a 37 year old who did a lot of stupid stuff in my younger days and recently got a bachelors and the trifecta + CCNA, now learning Linux because of you sir!

Another important point is to avoid using a non-regulated power supply where a regulated one was originally provided, otherwise you risk damaging the electronics. If in doubt, I will use a regulated supply.

15 volt is likely from a Philips or similar shaver.

Thanks! Great instruction. I implemented this om my Uniquiti router. Works like a charm.

Very good video

How do you check the polarity on a device? Usually only the power supply has all the specs, there's little if any information on the device. The obvious answer of course is to check the original power supply, if it's broken and you're replacing it. But that doesn't help you if you lost it or somehow end up with a device and never had the original power supply in the first place. You may be able to look up that sort of info online, but even with current devices that's really hard to find, the product manual if you can find it will at most have basic specs like the voltage and amps it runs on, but usually it won't even have that, it's certainly not going to tell you the polarity of the connector. Only the power supply itself will have that info, and often it's in very tiny molded printing that you can barely read in person and certainly not in a photo..and most companies have useless customer support that won't know anything. So without access to an original charger, I can't think of any way to determine the polarity without taking the device apart, and even then I'm not sure I'd know how to tell, but maybe it will be labeled on the circuit board or by the wire colors. If anyone else has other ideas, I'd like to know..

what's a web browser? I hardly knew her?

Love the office space ref with the tps reports

The cool thing I learned about power supplies is that you can connect a 9 volt and a 12 volt (pick your voltage) in series to get a 21 volt power supply or two 9 volt power supplies to get 18 volts.

I got them in a rubber maid tub! I got a shit ton of them.

thank you. taking essentials tmr, should be a breeze!

04:05 I heve seen sone two wire cables with a white line down one of them, I am assuming to define positive…. but don’t quote me n that, just thought I’d mention….

02:33 I need to ask Why is there no global standard for ‘’voltage - connector shape’’ ? For something so simple that would save billions $ over time, Why is there no fkn standard!? Hmmm? Human race is still an immature child i supposse is the real reason… Love & Peace Great Vid! Subscrbed. 🙏👍😎

I'm studying for the linux+ CompTIA and this video is breaking concepts down and making them perfectly understandable. Appreciate you making this!

What if I want to power a device from a DC barrel port on my solar charge controller?

Thank you for this. My puppies ate through almost every power supply cord in the house. I have others. This fixes everything.

this are great. very ADHD friendly, thank you :)

My Ubuntu doing this filling storage thing and it filled ~100gb.so I stopped rsyslog and deleted all logs.now whenever I open gnome-files it freezes and nothing works except I see mouse cursor movement only that too don't respond to clicks

I charged my 12v ryobi cordless with an 12v dstv adaptor and it blew

yeah… more Caddy videos ❤

Could you have wired the 15v &12v in series to get 27v?

Ah, nothing more permanent than a temporary intro

Really helpful video. Thanks

Watch the primagen and you’ll want to learn vim instead of nano X)

super tutorial, instant bookmarked! thank you!

fantastic video, ive leaerned so much thank you so much

Translation: you stole your wife's charger and hid it. Then you "found" it in your closet.

I feel so much better. I cannot find it in myself to through away old chargers or cables. I keep old audio cables even.

Crontab was extremely difficult for me to catch onto due to poor explaining by other creators and other videos. You have made it much easier to understand, and I can fully use it now. Thank you so much! Hope life is treating you well
