    They probably tried setting it on their wireless phone charger. I hope they aren’t dumber than that, but I don’t really have a lot of hope.

      Probably just a brainfart and what they meant was that the device won’t stay powered on unless plugged to a charger. Probably.

          I did say I didn’t have much hope. I considered the “won’t work unless plugged in” option but we don’t know what kind of device it was. I also considered the complete idiot option. All of these are possible.

      If both devices use USB-C, that might charge the Chromebook a little bit and make it give a useful error about the quality of the charger.

          Okay, I’m wrong. That’s not how this works. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen an error on a Lenovo running Windows when I hooked it up to a phone charger.

          How does it work?
