We might be able to pull off that this transitions from a niche technology to
the mainstream, like we did with photovoltaics (at the cost of 200 G€).
Let’s see...
I wonder what a world with 5V DC distributed within the house would look
like. All of those power adapters are both ugly and a PITA. Of course
that wouldn't have to come in from the grid, but still. I found a
powerstrip which has a couple of USB slots in it and it's very nice. It
also allows the AC plugs to be rotated which is nice for the remaining
adapters.
