Werewolf transformed my old gadgets into USB-C powered ones
A Recent Invention Allows for Easy Upgrade of Older Devices
In an effort to breathe new life into older electronics, a small company called Werewolf has developed a programmable dongle that enables users to transform outdated power ports into USB-C compatible ones. This innovation has significant implications for those who own older devices that lack modern USB-C ports, such as 27-inch desktop monitors, external hard drives, and gaming consoles like the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).
The dongle, designed to be user-friendly and non-invasive, allows users to upgrade their devices without the need for extensive modifications. This is particularly relevant for older devices that were manufactured before the widespread adoption of USB-C technology. For instance, the Super Nintendo Entertainment System was released in 1990, a time when the USB protocol was still in its infancy. With Werewolf's dongle, users can now power their older devices using modern USB-C cables, making it easier to connect and use these devices with newer systems.
The impact of this invention extends beyond mere convenience, as it also enables users to extend the lifespan of their older electronics. By making it possible to power these devices with modern USB-C technology, Werewolf's dongle helps reduce electronic waste and promotes a more sustainable approach to technology usage. As a result, the dongle has garnered significant interest, with the writer of this article even purchasing a second kit as a gift for a friend.
