[Springtime]

Will be interested to see if AllThingsOnePlace reviews it, as have been following their particularly in-depth power adapter reviews and their last review[1] of a Framework charger (a 60W model) showed it performed well both in efficiency and other metrics though not the highest performer or value in its wattage range.

Wouldn't ordinarily mention a Youtube channel on HN but felt their detailed testing, comparisons and teardowns would probably be of interest for the topic.

These are exactly the kinds of channels we need more of on YT, I'm glad someone else has also found his channel.

I eagerly await more reviews of other USB-C PD chargers, e.g the 65W Lenovo ones you can get for pennies on ebay.

Does anyone review USB-C outlets? I want a high watt one, but I'm worried about whether they are truly UL listed and won't burn my place down

Seconds the recommendation of AllThingsOnePlace as great place to learn about usb psu in general. But watching his video I can't help but wonder with all the talk about the important of energy at the national level, why this kind of analysis is not done by one of gov. Agencies ...

This kind of thing used to be more common in the US but in the 80s various trends, from ideological privatization to increased tolerance for "gaming the system" and an increase in regulatory capture, squeezed this kind of thing out. Not completely (car models get crash testing, for instance) but, for example, FDA no longer does its own prospective research, but responds to applications from the private sector (and when it has questions, has the requestor do the research).
