@kat it's a voltage source, not a current source--the voltage is decided by the power supply but (up to the supply's limits) the current is decided by the phone

if it's a 2 amp power supply and your phone only needs 1 amp it'll only draw 1 amp

@kat Different current (colloquially called amperage); the voltage is always the same 5 V (except for things using Qualcomm quickcharge or USB-PD)

@kat Computers generally aren't made to provide much current out their USB ports, but modern devices need a fair bit of current to charge at any appreciable speed

@patchwork I guess we never put too much thought into it but we kinda always assumed that kind of stuff would just use a standard handcuff key, does it not?

@packbat This was gameplay stuff i was referring to, not lore stuff; in age of calamity she has two weapon choices, either the sheikah slate (making her a heavily item-focused character, using a variety of items to attack) or a sacred bow (where she uses the power of light to fight, which manifests as both light-based magic and occasionally arrows of light)
-F

@packbat the lore relevant here is that there are three (plus a few) immortal souls in the zelda universe, who are fated to keep reincarnating--Zelda because she has the blood of the goddess Hylia, Link because he has the spirit of the hero (which was blessed by the goddess Hylia), and ganondorf because he's an incarnation of the demon king Demise's curse that he placed on Link and Zelda at the end of Skyward Sword

ganondorf isn't the only incarnation of Demise's curse, though; there's also been Vaati, Bellum, and Malladus who were probably also incarnations of the curse
-F

@packbat that's fair! (though we tend to see sheik as some form of plurality more than "just" a secret identity)

i was thinking along the lines of how she plays in age of calamity
-F

@packbat while we're twisting things around i'd also like to see a zelda game where ganondorf is a good guy, and Link is the one who's the inheritor of Demise's curse this time around
-F

@packbat I wonder if it would be Zelda with a weapon, or Zelda using the power of light?

@puf it took us a long time to get here and we still trip up sometimes but we're mostly to the point that we've unlearned most of the prescriptive nonsense they teach in elementary school, and have replaced "that's wrong" with "oh that's a neat feature of this other variety of english"

and i think that's a much nicer place to be

@sharkNserg good news: you *are* VERY hot
