But don't tell this to a geriatric politician who can't understand the concept that God didn't create the original style power outlets (thus making them the forever standard) on the 2nd day of Genesis
This is going on a tangent, but I'm curious: Am I the only one that avoids those sockets like the god damn plague? It's a USB socket of unknown origin/destination, those things are theoretically capable of data transmission. I'm not going to plug stuff like my phone in them, that's like sticking your wazoo in any and every crevice you come across.
I'd personally be more worried that they put cheapest possible one and it will fall apart putting 120/240 on the USB... apparently the wall mounted ones also die pretty quickly because of heat issues
I'll use it if no other option, but otherwise I'll take a pass.
Quite often when you use those the phone will complain and tell you to use only the official chargers, and their warranty doesn't cover damage caused by third party chargers either. Once that's in play the argument that it can charge from any standard USB outlet becomes very shaky.
Brazil has a huge amount of problems with politicians and most of them are not due to a lack of understanding but straight up corruption, this is not one of them.
Not everyone in the world lives in the hotels you stayed or in your friend's house at Texas. Until then we need chargers for using an iphone with our old fashioned power outlets I am afraid.
