There will come a time when the Raspberry Pi Foundation does not require a super secret mythical combination of USB C power supply and cable that is only dubiously complainant and can only be obtained on the third Thursday of the months with no R in them.

That time is not now.

I am once again begging them to stop thinking they know better than the whole world when it comes to USB C power delivery. If Fred in his Wuhan shed can make shit that powers up without you feeling like you’re playing a game of fucking Myst, RPi with their impressive collection of computer science degrees and personal computer heritage should be able to.

Given how they were told of by the AUTHOR of the power delivery portion of the spec because of what they did to the 4, you'd think they'd have made *some* effort on the 5.

But hey, this version has AI in it, so yay?

Meanwhile, my 2 and 3A trundle happily along with whatever random chargers for no-longer-supported phones were kicking around. Where did they go wrong?

@Kincaid @Sion [main] The 4 cares about the cable more than it cares about the PSU. They also fixed it for later versions of the 4.

Yep. I resorted to a forbidden 2.1mm barrel connector to USB-C adapter for my Pi4. Meanwhile another board I have support 12v over USBC-PD.
