I wanted to share this opinion on Hackaday about a topic that is the usefulness of a something that has become ubiquitous relatively fast.
This techonolgyy has a lot of potential, what do you think?

Let’s not talk about the new Raspberry Pi…
Plus the Pi Pico is micro USB. I hate them for making that choice.
why not?
It doesn’t support PD, and uses an improperly wired USB-C connector.
Do you have any source on that? I planned to get one soon and that’s worrying. So far I’ve found this post after a quick search, which claims PD is supported.
Maybe he’s talking about the pi 4, which did have usb-c power issues on its first revision. https://bgr.com/tech/raspberry-pi-4-usb-c-charging-issue-how-to-fix-the-power-problem
Current pi4’s and all pi5’s don’t have that problem.
The Pi 5 wants 5A and 5V, which I believe [citation needed] isn’t supported by USB-PD:

This article about usb-pd lists 5v 5A as an available option https://www.howtogeek.com/769888/what-is-usb-power-delivery-usb-pd/
And
Thanks, Satan!
yea, i really rolled my eyes when i saw it was 5v at 5 amps. Seriouly, give us a more sane connection!
The power situation on RPi has been shit since at least the 3B. I have plenty of powerful enough brand name USB power adapters that give low voltage warnings but work perfectly fine if you ignore it. It is way too sensitive.
