Una de las grandes ventajas del puerto USB-C (heredada del original, eso sí) es su gran versatilidad: lo mismo te sirve para hacer una copia de seguridad de los archivos importantes de tu movil, conectarte a Internet por cable, usar unos auriculares con cable, cargar otros dispositivos o incluso enviar tu pantalla a la televisión.

Todos esos usos y alguno más se describen en este artículo. Aunque hay que tener en cuenta que no son posibilidades universales, ya que tanto enviar pantalla como cargar dispositivos externos dependerá mucho de la marca y gama del teléfono.

I have just added a Uperfect Portable 18-inch monitor ( aka Ugame K118 / M180J03 ) to my Mac Studio as a second display. It's 2560x1600 and is powered by one USB-C port and receives input via another USB-C input ( Thunderbolt 3/4, USB 3.1 ) or mini HDMI. It's one of those super light, portable units with an iPad-like magnetic case-wrap that's meant to tote along with your laptop to serve as a second screen on the go.

I connect it, it appears, it works. But...

When the system sleeps the displays and then wakes (the Studio itself never sleeps), this second display does not reappear. I can power cycle it and it will not appear to the Mac. On a hard power cycle, the screen comes alive and reports NO SIGNAL on the display screen, while connected to the Mac Studio as it has always been. Only when I disconnect the USB-C data cable and reconnect does it reappear to the Mac.

Obviously I can't run like this. I don't see any setting on the display's onboard menu that talks about settings around this. There is a ECO setting, but it's not to do with sleep; it has options like: standard, game, text, movie, etc.

Anyone have any ideas regarding how to get around this? Thanks.

My experience is that #usb cables in 99% fail at their #microusb / #usbc ending.

So cutting them off and soldering some #dupont connectors instead gives them a 2nd life as a power supply for microcontrollers and other fun projects.

30 years of USB 1.0: The connector for (almost) everything

The success of the Universal Serial Bus grew from humble beginnings: on January 15, 1996, the first final specification was released.

@bluewitch @0xIO32 @mook Then return the item and demand a refund.

• And yes, I think #ConsumerProtection laws must mamdate labels for such shit, just like @EUCommission mandates #EnergyEfficjency labels, bans non-#USBc - #Phones from sale & disallows packaging if a #Charger into the box of said phones!

I posted about beefier USB-C power banks and AC chargers last week. One of the recent changes ushering this in are GaN (Gallium Nitride) power supplies, which help to reduce size and improve efficiency. This video is a good explainer of the differences, some of which are driven by better design and improved components.
