     @grillchen@brotka.st @kaia@brotka.st when importing into Austria, I paid less than €20 in import fees for an order of a pinepower desktop, a pinepower gan charger and a few other things (totalling around 70-80€)

     @mae @kaia nice but for actual tests i prefer those things u can put inbetween to measure all kind of data. useful to check power supplies and cables.

     @grillchen@brotka.st @kaia@brotka.st they show the real-time voltage and amperage that the connected device is drawing. it's really fun to see how qc3.0 and usb-pd draw power over time
     you can also disable the display if it's too bright at night

     @grillchen@brotka.st @kaia@brotka.st yeah, it's not meant for actual testing, i don't do hardware engineering
     it's just for fun and looks fancy :D
