OK, I'm loving having a laptop with USB C power supply. Most power banks won't *charge it*, at least not with power on, but they will run it in "not charging" state very well, with basically no drain on internal battery. 😲

@dalias I've had mixed results with that... my previous Thinkpad would always charge the power bank and not the other way around. With my Framework, it seems to be decided at random in which direction to charge each time I connect the power bank... (but at at least I still have some hope that a fix might be possible in the EC firmware)

@neocturne Uhg, that sounds awful. I could use A-to-C cables from the power banks tho if that happened. They never take input on USB A; only C is bidirectional.

@dalias The reason why I'm not doing that is, while my power bank has an A port, it can only output its full power on the C port... maybe it's time to get a new one and the issue would just disappear
