Why the fuck can you short a chromebook at the power port? Shouldn’t that have some sort of safety? Can you short a toughbook through the power port? Definitely keeping the little cover closed on mine when it’s not plugged in from now on (garage machine)
I once abused a USB port on my laptop to use as a 5v power supply but I later shorted it by connecting the wrong wires. It didn’t explode but it did blow the fuse for that port.
