One thing I miss about the X-Parrot site is people live tweeting local political meetings.

Which brings me to say, does anyone have any news sites or anywhere else with updates on the #Durham #DPS emergency meeting today?

Now introducing: #PDBrick!

1.7 kW worth of raw USB-C PD power.

24x USB-C ports.
4x 100W, 20x 65W.
(4x USB A, but we don't talk about those :P)

I never did a post of the project that @techbeard and I did last-minute before #CCCamp23, so here you go.
Build log in the thread below.

Back view. The back consists of another milled PCB that holds the Powercon True1 power input socket, the XT60 24V power output plug and a large OLED screen.
View of the OLED screen in action at the Geekend Aalen '23. It mainly shows (a rough approximation) of the overall power draw and some internal stats.
The #PDBrick being utilized pretty heavily at the Unterland village at CCCamp23
