Talk:2507: USV-C

I just did my first edit! It'll definitely get changed, but I guess this is good enough for a start

that's not as absurd as it sounds. there are optical usb cables which work by converting the usb signals to and from light signals.162.158.92.83 16:48, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

I bet this is going to be an xkcd that gets recreated in real life.

There are ultraviolet LED lamps that are powered at 5V with an USB connector. xkcd in real life it's already done. 141.101.105.27 17:57, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

I've been unable to find one with a hardwired male USB-C plug in a quick Google search. Though, there are many portable UV-C lamps which would count as USB-C socket to UV-C, so you could add on a USB-C plug-plug adapter and emulate this XKCD with two chained adapters. 172.69.71.69 19:20, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Am I the only one to think "from C to shining C"? And I'm not even American. 141.101.76.209 20:00, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

It could be as simple as a UV lightbox integrated into a USB EPROM programmer. Have a few in the back erasing while you're programming a few in the front. --Tepples (talk) 22:42, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
