| Feb 22, 2021 at 15:06 | comment | added | Andreas | @goldilocks Using a standard USB jack without implementing the standard, while ignoring its amperage limits thereby requiring unnecessary complexity in unrelated devices, also seems a very "smart" and "modern" move. But that would have required thought from the designer. | |

| Mar 20, 2015 at 17:15 | comment | added | goldilocks♦ | I'm sure the answer to #1 is yes -- that microUSB jack is just a more convenient choice than a barrel jack (especially since those are heterogeneous). It was not intended to allow the pi to function as an actual USB device -- the data pins aren't even connected. So, quotes smart unquotes charger...why don't they put a manual switch on the side? That would be smart -- maybe not so 'modern' though since it gasp requires a bit of responsibility and thought from the user. | |
