I have this vision of a future where everything just runs off of usb-c and usb-pd. Even today, expect in the kitchen and the bathroom (refrigerator, washing machine,...) you could totally run most things off of the 240w max. Much more so in an office. It would be so much more efficient than what we have now, and safer. No idea how realistic it is though...


I pulled the specs for a dual-compressor fridge this morning for an unrelated reason and it only draws 180w... maybe the fridge can run on usb-c too! https://www.bosch-home.com/us/productslist/refrigerators/fri...


Something about a giant fridge being powered by some small Apple brick gives me shivers. I guess it's doable but it feels wrong.
