Comment on USB-PD is a de-facto low-power DC voltage standard, with USB-C being the universal plug. Hurray!

  Plus the Pi Pico is micro USB. I hate them for making that choice.

    It doesn’t support PD, and uses an improperly wired USB-C connector.

      Do you have an source on that? I planned to get one soon and that's worrying. So far I've found this post after a quick search, which claims PD is supported.

        Maybe he’s talking about the pi 4, which did have usb-c power issues on its first revision. bgr.com/…/raspberry-pi-4-usb-c-charging-issue-how…

  The power situation on RPi has been shit since at least the 3B. I have plenty of powerful enough brand name USB power adapters that give low voltage warnings but work perfectly fine if you ignore it. It is way too sensitive.
