half_built_pyramids@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why are laptop adapters so much larger than phone adapters of same power rating?22·11 months agofar different size.
Size first. Power electronics don’t have the same miniaturization benefits (or expectations) for laptops as they do for phones. Some factor here is that there’s just a different convention for these two different types of devices.
larger bricks that have separate mains cable which plugs into the brick
There’s a manufacturing benefit having one circuit where you can just change the mains cable for length or country adaptor types. High probably the wall warts have the same ability, but it isn’t as obvious if the plastic parts are press fit.
Why is that so?
Some laptops could run off of 65 w, but only the very basic types. An Alienware m18 R2 gaming laptop has a 280 w adaptor and it isn’t close to the same size or price as a phone adaptor.
Same for phones. 65 w is pretty beefy for a phone charger. It will come down to the requirements of the device.
Generally speaking, a charger can have more amps than the phone or laptop requires and that’s usually okay. The voltage is what you have to be careful about. 5v is kind of a common electronics safe voltage. Good chance all these “universals” chargers are 5v.
Again, something like an Alienware m18 R2 is going to require more than 5v.
Or is it simply cheaper to manufacture while being sold for the same price?
Good chance of that. Much easier to price fix on big warehouse type online marketplaces.

Maryland plans to rebuild the Francis Scott Key Bridge in just over four years at an estimated cost between $1.7 billion and $1.9 billion, a state transportation official said
This article buried at the end:
The settlement does not include any damages for the reconstruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. The State of Maryland built, owned, maintained, and operated the bridge, and attorneys on the state’s behalf filed their own claim for those damages.

half_built_pyramids@lemmy.worldto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Since we have CRISPR and all the other cool stuff with gene splicing, might we be able to give ourselves gills one day?141·11 months agoCrisper isn’t changing an organism’s genes to that extent. When you’re designing an immune response with rna injection or other changes brought about with cytophages you can only get crispier. It’s sort of like how you can’t double fry fried chicken. It’s already crispy once, it just gets burned and dries out.

We all have to remember the true Chad argument against AI is that it’s built on degenerate theft and corporate soulless shills. AI is the Shikrelli of creativity.
