I tripped over my Framework power cable today in the dark. Instead of flinging my laptop off the table, the USB-C cable disconnected from the puck and the laptop stayed put!

Thanks to the really grippy laptop feet…

On the contrary! The resistance of the USB-C connection to the adapter is weaker than to the laptop (the L shaped connector holds tighter and tries to rotate). This has the convenient effect of having the adapter disconnect first, as long as the laptop has enough grip on the table.

The same thing actually happened to two days ago! Someone tripped over my power adapter, and the plug on the adapter got yanked out, laptop was left hanging precariously on the edge of the table, cable still attached. I’d have gotten a new laptop by then if it wasn’t designed that way.
