Frequently Asked Questions
Why don’t USB cords come with a plug for wall outlets?
USB cords usually require a separate power adapter that plugs into the wall outlet. This is because USB cords are designed to transfer data between two devices, not provide power. Power adapters are needed in order to convert the wall outlet’s AC power into the DC power required by most USB-powered devices.
Is kawaii the same as anime?
No, they are not the same. Kawaii is a Japanese term meaning “cute” or “adorable,” while anime is a style of Japanese animation that often includes characters with exaggerated facial features and bright colors.
Why do a lot of lamps come with integrated LED bulbs?
LED bulbs are becoming increasingly popular due to their energy efficiency and long lifespan. They save more energy than traditional incandescent or halogen bulbs while also lasting longer. Plus, they offer a cost-effective and efficient lighting solution for consumers.
