Power Brick And Plug Standarization
Lobby your legislators... Alpha numeric plug and receptacle standardization so a glance will ID the correct match. No? They're WAY too busy creating laws that deal with climate change, hate grou...

My dell laptop requires a third wire for the Pin inside the barrell, or the battery will not charge, and it runs slowly.
When my DC/DC adapter stopped charging due to the third wire again breaking, I was able to splice on a powercord from another Dell power supply my neighbor had laying around.
When that Failed in the same manner, I tried to buy just another barrell connector/ wire for a Dell, but it was cheaper to buy an New AC/DC adapter and splice its cord onto my DC to DC adapter.
When the third wire on that connector failed, I took my knife to the barrell connector and resoldered the three wires onto it. I repotted the connector with Amazing Goop.
I also decided to run the wires to the barrell connector at a 90 degree angle to reduce strain on the connector.
Now I need to build that faraday cage for the DC to C adapter, so it stops knocking out channel 8( actual). An AC/DC adapter also knocks out this channel, and uses more wattage at the same time, and the inverter also takesout other TV channels
