@ratkins AppleTV power cables would work but are long. That said you can actually order them via your local Apple Store or AASP.

@matdotcx Yeah, “short” is the main criteria here, for travel.

@ratkins Snips and third party plugs?

@ratkins The US SKU is IF_324300E0 - https://www.magconn.com/products/0-5m-figure-8-ac-us-plug-cable-cord-for-microsoft-surface-pro-1-2-3-power-supply - it’s in stock

@matdotcx Holy shit, how’d you find that? I’ve been googling/duck-duck-go-ing/kagi-ing for ages.

matdotcx, 10 months ago

@ratkins Magic. You can email them and beg for part numbers for other regions ;)

@matdotcx I’m dreading that I might even need to go into town to the Microsoft store and talk to a live human being 😱

matdotcx, 10 months ago

@ratkins Dude that’d be the EASIEST way

ratkins, 10 months ago

@matdotcx Oh wait. Microsoft stores don’t exist anymore. There are three in the world now (London, NYC, Sydney.) So I have to call someone :-(

@matdotcx I just called Microsoft (in the US!) and after taking some time to convince whoever answered that the Surface has a power cable, it seems they’re not available as a part ☹️

ratkins, 10 months ago

@matdotcx Ugh.

matdotcx, 10 months ago

@ratkins Ha! So good they recalled it! https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/microsoft-ac-power-cord-recall-for-eligible-surface-pro-3-or-earlier-devices-4d46b233-acd2-9714-9ece-0ff48327fbc5

@matdotcx Right! I’d found that previously. What I can’t find for the life of me is how to order one of the new ones as a standalone part.
