The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right Type-C Cable for Your iPhone 15 Series in India

The iPhone 15 introduces a USB-C cable, following the universally accepted standard for charging, data syncing, and multimedia connectivity. This USB-C connector enables seamless charging and connections to Mac, iPad, AirPods Pro, external storage, and displays.

Pros of USB-C Port

The USB-C connector on your iPhone 15 opens up a world of possibilities, providing a universally accepted standard for charging, data syncing, and multimedia connections. Here are some key advantages:

Versatility: The USB-C port on iPhone 15 models allows you to charge your device and connect to a wide range of devices, including Mac, iPad, AirPods Pro (2nd generation), external storage devices, and displays.

Charging Efficiency: With a USB-C cable and a power adapter compliant with the USB-C standard, you can efficiently charge your iPhone. Using a 20W USB-C power adapter or higher-wattage adapter can enable faster charging, and you can also charge your iPhone by connecting it to the USB-C port on your computer.

Data Transfer: Connect your iPhone to iPad, Mac, or other computers for seamless data transfer using a USB-C cable compliant with the standard. You can connect external displays and other devices like MacBook Pro, Mac mini, Mac Studio, Mac Pro, iMac, MacBook Air etc  that connect using a Thunderbolt 4  cable, Thunderbolt 3  cable or USB-C cable. The iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max support fast USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds up to 10 Gbps with an optional USB 3 cable.

Device Charging: Your iPhone 15 can serve as a power source for other devices, such as AirPods, Apple Watch, or any USB Power Delivery-supported device, at up to 4.5 watts.

Audio Connectivity: The USB-C connector allows you to play audio through built-in speakers, AirPods, or other Bluetooth devices. You can also connect wired headphones or other audio accessories using the Apple USB-C to 3.5 mm Headphone Jack Adapter.

Advice for Cable Selection

Employing the universally recognized USB-C connector, both the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus facilitate:

MagSafe wireless charging up to 15W

Qi wireless charging up to 7.5W

Fast-charge capable:Up to 50% charge in around 30 minutes12 with 20W adapter or higher.

Featuring USB 2.0 data rates (480 Mbps)

In contrast, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max boast enhanced capabilities, accommodating

USB PD charge rates reaching 29W

Featuring USB 3.2 Gen 2×1 data rates at 10Gbps.

Check Device Standards: Ensure the cable matches your device’s needs. If your device supports Power Delivery, get a PD cable, and ensure the charging adapter also supports the same standards.

Use USB-C for Displays: Select cables that support data transfer speeds or list support for 4K or 8K video. Consider DisplayPort Alt Mode (DP Alt Mode) support for connecting displays and video sources.

Power Rating: Each USB-C cable is rated for a specific power amount. Higher wattage means faster charging. Consider the power needs of your device when selecting a cable.

Safe Charging Practices: It’s safe to use your phone while charging, but it may charge at a slower rate. Avoid using poorly made cables to prevent overheating and potential hazards.

The Best Hub For Your Slim Laptop

The Best Hub For Your Slim Laptop

By Suman Rawat – Who doesn’t love slim laptops? They’re easy to travel with, they don’t take up much space, and they don’t weigh you down as you’re out and about. However, one of the disadvantages of slim laptops is that they usually come with only one or two ports, so you can easily run out of room fast if you’re trying to hook up your laptop to anything other than your monitor or your phone. If you find yourself frequently needing more USB ports on your laptop, this guide will help you choose the best hub to meet your needs! There is no knowing when you may be looking to hook up your machine to any HDMI port.

The new USB-C connection has become a popular standard in the world of slim laptops, offering an affordable and versatile alternative to both Apple’s Lightning and Micro USB cables. At first, the lack of ports on these slim laptops may seem like an inconvenience, but that’s where USB Type C hubs come in handy! USB Type C hubs offer numerous ports and even allow you to connect your laptop to multiple screens! Here are some tips for choosing the best Type C hub for your slim laptop.

Contrary to popular belief, not all slim laptops come with a USB-C port. In fact, if you look at the specs of some of the most popular laptops on the market, such as the Macbook and the Dell XPS 13, you’ll see that they have USB-A ports rather than USB-C ports. Type C Hubs for Macbook are an essential to explore its full capability.

Good reasons to use a Hub

The Type-C USB port on a laptop is great, but it’s not perfect. So what if you want to use one of these ports with an HDMI cable? Or two of them at once? That’s where hubs come in! But not all hubs are made equally; here are some factors to consider when selecting one for your slim laptop.

Casing : Plastic vs Metal : Metal is better for heat dissipation & also compliments the look of your expensive new laptop.

Must Have : HDMI Port with Resolution 30Hz or higher to help you hook up to a large screen

Must Have : Power Delivery Pass-Thru port 60W or higher so you can charge & expand ports at the same time

Must Have : Ethernet Port 1000mbps ( 1 Gigabit) for uninterrupted high speed internet

Must Have : USB3.0 Ports to connect add-ons & transfer data at high speeds

Good to Have : Card Reader Slots to transfer images or music

Good to Have : 3.5mm Audio Port to hook up a headset.

What Does The Future Hold For Type C?

Type C is quickly becoming a popular connection. Unlike its predecessors, Type C is reversible—there’s no wrong way to plug it in. Type C also supports USB 3.1, meaning transfers are up to 10 times faster than with previous models. As an added bonus, it can charge devices when used as a hub or during transfers. With these kinds of benefits and many companies looking to embrace Type C, we think very soon, Type C ports will be available the standard on all devices, making life so much simpler both for consumers & brands. A perfect case being where a consumer can use the same charger & cable for their laptop, tablet or smartphone. Type C USB Hubs are an absolute must-have essential In your bag at all times.

I feel like the person who decided we needed to switch from USB-micro to USB-C should be killed. Causing so much unnecessary cable waste and frustration is deserving of death. These are just my thoughts and feelings, which happen to be correct.

Apropos of nothing

If you are the techiest person in the house (and for many of you, this is not techy at all), today is a good day to build a pihole thanks to Google's new TLDs.

For the record, this straight up stopped Dad from getting computer viruses when coupled with the Ublock browser extension, so I will volunteer my time to get you set up. We will find an evening and do a Zoom call. I am serious.

Prerequisities:

Before you start, this will be way way easier if your router has a magic way to:

Set static IP addresses

Set a custom DNS server

If you can't do this, I'm not saying you're stuck, but there's some non-obvious failure modes and maybe it's time to buy a better router.

Parts:

Raspberry Pi 4B. 2GB if you just want to set and forget, 8GB if you want to do more things on this than just your pihole (Coughs in a MarioKart box) -> https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-4-model-b/

Spare USB-C charger if you don't have one already. I'm a fan of https://www.amazon.com/Argon-USB-C-Power-Supply-Switch/dp/B0919CQKQ8/ myself

A microSD card at least UHS class 3 or better. 32 is fine for just a pihole, I have a 512 in some of mine that I use for more stuff. https://www.tomshardware.com/best-picks/raspberry-pi-microsd-cards

Some method of flashing the card if you don't have one (Some come with SD to micro-SD adapters, if not a USB to SD/micro-SD adapter is about $10 off Amazon)

If you really feel like going nuts, go buy yourself an Argon case and then very very carefully never ever install the software for the fan that does nothing. The value is entirely in having a big giant brick that is self-cooling. If you want to play MarioKart, I would consider this a requirement. https://www.amazon.com/Argon-Raspberry-Aluminum-Heatsink-Supports/dp/B07WP8WC3V

Setup:

Do yourself a favor and ignore all the signs telling you to go get Raspbian and instead go grab an ISO of Ubuntu 64-bit using RPi Imager. Because Raspbian cannot be upgraded across version WHY U DO THIS

Download Rpi Imager, plug the microSD card into your computer,

Other General Purpose OS -> Ubuntu -> Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

So now you have an operating system on an SD card.

Assemble the case if you bought one, plug in the SD card, power supply, ethernet cable if you have one or mouse and (mini) HDMI cable if you don't. If you bought that Argon case, you can just plug a keyboard (server OS means no mouse gang; In this house, we use the Command Line) and HDMI cable into the Pi. Turn it on.

Gaining access

The end state of this is that your pi is:

Connected to the internet by cable or wifi

You can SSH to it (Also not scary)

If you plugged in an ethernet cable, once it's done booting (1-2 minutes?), you should be able to ssh to "ubuntu@<the IP of the system>". Look it up in your router. It may make sense to give the static IP NOW to keep it stable.

If you've never used SSH before, I think the standard is Putty on Window or you can just open a terminal in Mac. (And if you know enough Linux to have a Linux computer, why are you reading this?)

If you didn't plug it in, and need to setup the wifi, there's magic incantations to attach it to the wifi and to be quite blunt, I forget what they are.

Your username is ubuntu, your password is ubuntu and then it will ask you to make a new password. If you know the meaning of the phrase "keypair-based access", it may make sense to run `ssh-copy-id` at this point in time.

Router settings (part 1)

Give your new Pi a static IP address, and reboot your pi (as simple as typing in `sudo reboot`).

Open a new SSH session to the pihole on the new address.

Installing pihole

Open up an SSH session and

curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash

This is interactive. Answer the questions

When it's done, on your other computer, navigate to <the ip>/admin

Login with the password you just set. Router settings part 2

Give your new Pi a static IP address then point your router at that address

Set the DNS servers to the static IP

Then ensure you're blocking something. Anything.

Then do what you want to do. You'll probably need to whitelist some sites, blacklist some more, but the main thing is going to be "Adding more list of bad sites". Reddit has some lists.

And... enjoy.

/But seriously, there's some stuff to do for maintenance and things. I wasn't joking about the pair setup.
