Yes, I believe you understand correctly.
And yes Asus laptops/tablets reject full power charging on any non Asus USB PD PSU, even when the alternative brand is better. I’ve tried a couple including the 180w framework

noting that the USB-PD standard did not emerge yet
Doesn’t even matter. Asus still pulls this shit on their USB PD laptops and tablets. At the very least they do allow 65w instead of the full 100w if you use another brand’s USB PD charger.

How long should custom manufactured parts be produced after a product is no longer on the market?
If you’re asking genuinely, I think 3 years after end of production for anything valued above $500 and 5 years for anything over $1500.

I suspect it’s because most of the solar is behind the meter like residential/commercial rooftop installations. It’s harder to divert that production into grid scale batteries.
This is the new England grid North of New York today:
Light yellow is behind the meter, dark yellow is grid scale

Solar. The labels are not super helpful on that screenshot, but you can go to the website and see the graphs in greater detail. Plus at this moment, you’ll be able to see the battery discharge stats.

I’ll just leave this here, in case there are some other electric grid nerds out there: www.gridstatus.io/trends?period=year&metric=batte…
Really neat site with nearly real time data.
- Comment on Can anyone recommend a light similar to the one in this picture? 2 months ago:
I mean you can just put a grow light bulb into a normal desk lamp, and it’ll work just fine manually (no smart bs to deal with).

I’m generally pro nuclear, and potential chornobyl is less worrisome to me than a potential Zaporizhzhia.
