Meanwhile, in the US, it took ten.fucking.years between USB-equipped power outlets showing up at Chinese factories and NEC-approved USB-equipped power outlets showing up at Home Depot.

Oh shit, I just added 4 normal outlets to my man-cave last weekend. I am cutting another hole in the wall!

I'm using some of these on the soon-to-be-debuted new rig. They're spendy but supadope. Clean the place up nice.
