Not 20A - they ramp up to 20V! As I understand, the charger and the device talk to each other at standard 5V then switch to 20V if both agree. This keeps the cable thickness within reason. Power Delivery 2.0/3.0 Type-C 5 A[d] 20 V 100 W https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_hardware

I think I'd put it in terms of having Johnson back. :)

There have been a few stories in the press. There are difficulties - separation not always possible. Have not noticed them mentioned for a while now.

Sometimes things happen despite lack of planning! The dominance of USB charging for small things has come about by exploiting a necessary feature of a connection invented/designed primarily for data. And USB can go up to 100W which is in the region of bike charging.

Hunt those responsible? Gather the guilty?

There is a massive problem with that. In Wales, Scotland and NI.

I see further changes to quarantine after travel: “But on the middle countries, those ones are places where we have reciprocal arrangements in place that if you go there or if you come here, the arrangements are the same both ways round. In other words. You do not have to quarantine.” This...

Instead of taking in each other's washing, we will be converting each other's attics. (For those who own houses!)

It is potentially of huge benefit when there are insufficient tests available to permit full individual testing.

A shame this article doesn't tell us what the idiot thinks of Johnson. Trump called May and Merkel 'losers' after their political setbacks, ex-officials say Witnesses to Trump’s calls say he has a weakness for leaders with absolute power and contempt for allies seeking favors...

It is all very well (or not - depending on point of view :) ) the government allowing e-scooters, but your post points out an obvious issue with e-bikes now and e-scooters into the future. I would like to see all car charging stations having a low power outlet as well. And, that should be a...

An interesting take from Walesonline (generally a horrible site but occasionally has a story worth reading). Parts of Wales have the highest levels of coronavirus in the UK - but that's because England isn't counting properly Public health experts also say that the high levels of cases being...

About time too. It was so obvious that was what was happening.

Must have read right past that! Thanks. But still wondering what standards will apply.

I have not seen any mention of lights. Can't help thinking they are rather more important than whether they have two or three wheels. Quite obviously, lighting cannot be identical to bicycle lights. (A pair of rear wheels seems a very reasonable approach to designing an e-scooter.)

I note a lack of information in that article - also no surprise. Allowing hired ones but not private is, to me, deeply distasteful. There will be many who perhaps could benefit but would not always be comfortable with what rental companies offer. This could be due to "disability" issues. And...

One of the oddities of living in this neck of the woods is that our roads are generally pretty good. The council do get people out to fix holes. Mends are (at least, mostly) done to a reasonable standard. I was used to seeing holes filled, a slap of black stuff, and re-appear within days...

I know May does not exactly love Johnson, but she has refrained rather - until now: Theresa May says UK's new national security adviser has 'no proven expertise' Former prime minister adds to outcry over David Frost’s appointment Theresa May has launched a forthright attack upon Boris...

Anyone still interested in GBPS might find this article of some interest: https://www.theregister.com/2020/06/30/oneweb_bs/ Full-blown kakistocracy £96m study to spaff half a billion on the wrong satellites. These are the brains behind Brexit, ladies and gentlemen. What could possibly go...

Leicester seems to be a bit of a repeat performance. Late lockdown. Information not being sent out. No-one knows what is happening. Even legal basis not established. You might have thought preparations for ending lockdown would have included planning for more local flare-ups - they were...
