Why two power ports on a budget laptop??

When you are not quoting people, don't use quotes.
Now you are just being childish.
Discuss like an adult, not like a little child that didn't get a cookie.

And good luck with shorting the wires.

But who is being childish?  I was quoting, or rather paraphrasing.  It should have been obvious.

I have done this with barrel jacks, when it was necessary.  This was in the days before USB.  It can be done.  It can't be done with USB.  Well, it would be much more difficult.

Because you don't believe me, or you disagree with me does not make me childish.
