No seriously, I always get blank stares when I ask people, I’ve called them wall chargers or power bricks, my friend called them plug chargers, my fiancee calls them dongles. What do you call these around your house, like when you’re asking someone if they’ve seen any (______)'s
Power bricks or USB bricks. A dongle is an adapter, so it has some sort of thing on each side (besides a power plug lol).
Dongles are historically not adapters but rather self contained devices that plug directly into another device. Often providing no function except to be detectable.
are they called dongles because they dangle?
I guess so!
