       fun fact: if you design a product that takes a barrel-jack plug, and don't specify anywhere if it's center-positive or center-negative, you go to hell when you die

       there's no right or wrong way to do DC barrel jacksbut of the two completely valid alternatives, center-negative is the wrong one

       @foone USB has its issues, but at least it caused the death of DC barrel plugs.

       @foone fun fact: if you sell barrel jacks, and don't specify a current rating in the datasheet (or don't provide a datasheet), you go to hell

       @foone @philpem If it is center-negative you go to hell, too.

       @foone Fun fact: the ninth circle of hell is *also* center negative.

       @foone RCA jacks weep softly in the background.
