    This is just an "informative" article discussing the introduction of (2021), and changes to (2022), USB PD (Power Delivery), containing a thinly veiled advertisement for Aptiv systems? It's nice to hear that max throughput has increased to 240W, and that multi-device power delivery is getting smarter, but surely there are better sources for this information?

      Well in this case, I wrote the article. So I'm a bit fond of it.

        Have we ever discussed adding an OC tag on Tildes? @mycketforvirrad @cfabbro (P.S. I hope you had a good vacation) @hungariantoast (sorry for forgetting you the first time. Great work!)

          A long time ago there was a discussion about how to tag such things:

          Self promotion vs. Original content vs. Own content vs. User created vs. ...?

          The result was that we mostly phased out the self promotion and own content tags, but the original content and user created tags are both still used.

          It's years later and I am no longer sure how original content is supposed to be used versus user created, so that's why I tagged this topic with both.

          mycketforvirrad or cfabbro might have specific rules for when to use what, or maybe one day we will settle on a single tag lol

            original content is when a user writes something like an article and user created is for when they create something like an app.

          I like to think that my karma here suggests that I work hard here to ensure I don't waste anyone's time.

            I don't think updawg suggested otherwise, rather just asked about a tag. The original comment, about it feeling like an ad, even if you wrote it, is still a valid concern IMO but not a damning one

              I worked hard to make it as gentle as possible! I don't mind including some sort of #IWroteThis tag on posts. Though that can be slightly problematic when I don't have a byline.

            I didn't know there was karma on Tildes, how does it work and where can I see it?

                Ah, got it, reddit is still haunting me it seems. I'm glad there isn't karma on Tildes then. Thank you <3

              Not in any formal sense, but rather given the number of things I post that get lots of upvotes. I take that as affirmation that my contributions are appreciated.
