About this event
Part of understanding technology is getting a handle on the power and connection requirements of your devices. Is USB-C really the new standard? Will you ever again need cables from defunct technology? Why does it seem like flash drives can never be inserted correctly on the first try? We'll explore common ports and plugs used by your devices and how to understand why things vary so much. Feel free to bring your own mysterious cables as examples!
