It's 2025. For fucks sake, getting _basic_ USB-C compliance for power is a matter of two fucking SMD resistors. And yet, people are _still_ messing that up.
It seems "vibe electronics" have arrived way earlier than "vibe coding" did.

https://www.thestockpot.net/videos/whykmart for those who do not want to watch a video like me. Isn't the use of USB-C promotion without at minimum basic USB compatability disallowed? I have a few devices which have a USB-A to barrel plug, but they do not advertise anything and afaik that is perfectly fine. And they also only work with a normal USB charger, not the fancy ones.
What?

Turns out, he uses a specific ESP32 breakout board (AFAIK a Lolin one) that includes a charging circuit for a 1S battery. It's a really nice board, but to say that ESP32 includes a charging circuit is wrong, for anyone else curious.

At least here in Europe this would actually need to be a USB port which can be charged with any charger and cable.

Thanks! It made me read his other articles. I liked this one more: https://www.thestockpot.net/videos/3dprinteddownpipe. A 3D printed downpipe. Because that's what the solution he was able to do.
I don't entirely agree with the paint colour. Which is really nitpicking, or said in another way: I'm quite impressed!
My guess is it's due to the requirement to comply with EU law about USB-C. But proper USB-C requires active circuitry but manufacturers don't add it to save a few cents.
I also have such a lamp. Supposedly it's USB-C connection, but it only works when connecting with USB-A to USB-C cable. My guess is it's due to the requirement to comply with EU law about USB-C. But proper USB-C requires active circuitry but manufacturers don't add it to save a few cents.
