Charge cable with LED display

jack208 — Sun, 07 Aug 2022 08:07:56 +0800

does anyone here use the new type of charge cable that comes with a LED display at one end of the cable that shows you the wattage that's going thru the cable?

If you have, what's the wattage you are getting from the cable? And what type of charger you are using?

There's a video that shows a person charging the phone with one such cable from Baseus (mine's from Baseus and also USAMS) where he managed to get up to 38W for a 40W charge cable. Am I allowed to share a YT video link here? If yes, I can post the link to that video.

Mine's 66W charge cable, but I only managed to get 7-8W (average) or 9-10W (max I've seen). It's a Baseus 66W cable, on a Baseus GAN3 66W charger, charging my P20 Pro. The phone is in Super Charging mode so I can't say the cable is not "working".

Tapi that fella can get to his cable's max wattage!! LOL

Feedback appreciated - Consulting Agreement

Hi

I've received an offer for a contract position. However instead of signing as a contract staff, they requested me to sign using a consulting agreement ie. between company-to-company. Obviously this requires me to form a company first (not an issue as I could form a sole proprietor) but the bigger issue is I would like to hear from those who have experience on this - what's the pro & con of doing this as a consulting agreement from my perspective?

I und all the ramifications of having a sole prop (vs Sdn Bhd). This project will essentially take up all my time as per a full-time job but likely the company does not want to incur a headcount (not even a contract head) so seems like they are spinning this off as a consulting agreement which means it looks like they are engaging another company to work on this project (rather than hire a person).

Ignoring issues like EPF, leave, etc what potential issues or risks can the others see in this approach? The way a consulting agreement is constructed does leave me a little wary as there's the usual limitations, liabilities etc clauses - which would otherwise not be present in a part-time contract letter.

Am also happy to discuss this with anyone offline. Appreciate any advice. Thanks.
