I'm considering buying a USB powered item (heated eye mask). It plugs into a USB port, says it needs a 2A adaptor. What would happen if I plugged it into a 1A, 2.4A, or 5A output adaptor? I have a bunch of adaptors for Kindles etc, none that is exactly 2A. By adaptor I mean something that plugs into the wall outlet. Thanks.

Every time I upgrade my PC, there's always one part I just cannot bring myself to replace.Maybe it's an old mechanical keyboard that still feels better than anything new, a 10-year-old monitor that refuses to die, an ancient hard drive that's somehow still alive, or even a CPU cooler that's been through multiple builds. It might not be the fastest hardware anymore, but it has earned its place.

So what's that one piece of hardware you'll keep using until it literally stops working?

• What is it?
• How old is it?
• Why are you still using it?
• Has it ever let you down?

I always find it interesting how some of the oldest components end up being the most reliable.

So i play on series x and i just got my first desk and monitor like 2 days ago(acer nitro 24 inch, the one that costs 130) but i noticed that it doesn’t have a 3.5 mm jack so I’m thinking about returning it but i don’t know if 1 its worth it to return it or 2 what monitor i should get. I really want a 4k oled but they are expensive and I’m not sure if its worth to spend 500+ dollars for an xbox. I really only want to upgrade so soon so i could get a steel series arena 9 at some point
