What chargers for ipad A16?

I bought an iPad yesterday, however, I don’t have a GOOD charger for it (well, I have the cable from the package itself but lack the cube with USB-C).
What I mean is that I have a USB-C cable and a cube (from a samsung phone) but noticed it charges very slowly. I’m aware that the problem is probably the power BUT now I have one question. Does the power (as in the fast charging) lay in the cable or the block? Should I buy a more powerful block or cable? Can I e.g. buy a new block and use the USB-C cable for the samsung, will it charge as fast?

Second question is what power should I get. Will 20-30W be enough? Can it be a samsung 30W and work good as an apple one for an iPad?

Thanks!!

I have a computer station but the display port isnt available on my old tv so i need a VGA cable female to display or hdmi in my computer if some one could help or have a small tv with display port it could be better

I will start with my hardware, to understand my problem.

GPU: MSI RTX 4090 Suprim X

Display 1: AW3225QF (Alienware UHD 240Hz HDR)

Display 2: AW3225QF (Alienware UHD 240Hz HDR)

Display 3: 65OLED909_12 (Phillips UHD 120hz HDR)

I can run both Alienware fine, and one of them with the Phillips combined but when i try use all 3 at once, the 4090 seems to not be good enough.

So i was thinking about a cable or Adapter oder something that i could use on my 4090 DP and then splitting it in 1x DP for one Alienware and 1x HDMI for the Phillips. Since i just want to use the TV when i feel to play with wireless controller instead of keyboard and mice.

I want to use the monitors at the Hz and hdr limits without cutting it with the solution.

I am also open for Software solution to mirror the from main Alienware to Phillips without the need to lower Hz or actually disable a display. I just want easy swiching between my displays displays.

Btw: windows 11, If more info's are needed, I will gladly provide them.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello everyone,

I am from EU and have a Japan Type A adaptor ( it has 2 lines). Does it work or should i buy one with the 3 lines?

I've done a little research and want to make sure I'm looking at the correct stuff.

I want to have direct wire connections for my internet devices (not wifi). Can I set up my router in a closet and then run ethernet cables in my attic, run them down my walls to different rooms, and then have those end with an Ethernet port in my wall to connect those devices directly wired to my router?

Will the same thing work with HDMI and/or USB? Could I, let's say, set up my gaming PC in one room, then run HDMI and USB cables through my attic and to different rooms so I can have the output from my PC to the TV in the room I'm in? And also plug in a controller in that room to so I'm not trying to wireless connect my controller to my device that's in another room?

¿Prque mi celular no carga con cables tipo C a Ligthning con cubo de carga tipo C? Y porque si carga com un cubo salida a USB com acble tipo USB a Ligthning?
