> Why do laptop chargers have data wires?

I know, it's crazy to think people would like, research topics, be curious about what PD is, maybe skim the wikipedia for a whole 45 seconds, etc.

But no, apparently just spamming basic questions to reddit and HN is the way we're headed because everyone is used to have these AI-regurgitated crap spoon-fed to them. Or want someone to spell it all out for them because intellectual curiosity is a dying rare thing.

But hey, we're talking about a person who was reading unspecified communities that were apparently promoting cutting open wires to remove data lines, undoubtledly for "freedom" or "privacy", all seemingly without any context or clue about what they were doing.
