It would have been the best thing that's happened to me this week but I fell down the stairs yesterday so there's that.
Anyone recognize this guy?
Attachment 185814
On a completely unrelated note, I have come across a problem that stumps me.
Got a new iPad Air, but when I plug it into my computer to sync with iTunes, I get a Win10 error message about a power surge on my USB port. Windows shuts down the USB port, which means iTunes never sees the iPad and, in the eternal words of Seinfeld: No sync for me.
Anyone got any idea? Can't believe they designed a device that draws more power than the USB standard allows for (though arguably, the iPad is a USB-C connection/cable, and the port on the PC is a regular USB port; I'm using an adapter), but am I stuck with having to buy a powered USB hub? This happens on both my desktop computer and my laptop.
What to do if your iPad won’t charge or charges slowly using your computer’s USB portQuote:

Check USB-C ports for snug fit. If you charge your iPad using a MacBook’s USB-C port, these are notoriously loose. Make sure the cable has a tight fit into the port.
Additionally, most USB ports on your keyboard do not meet the minimum charging requirements, so stay away from those when charging your iPad.
Most iPads require at least 10-18 watts (depending on model) to adequately charge an iPad’s battery.
That’s why Apple always recommends you charge your iPad (or iPhone & iPod touch) using the USB power adapter and USB cable that comes packaged with every new or Apple-refurbished iDevice.
I don't say this often, but thank you, stairs.Quote:

Too late; I'm already being held captive within that walled ecosystem...Quote:
