What do you call these?

I call those low quality crap made in China so that China has a better chance to bring us down by seizing to export this stuff.
Anything but China, please. Even Vietnam is a lot better!

Charging brick. I don't think I've ever heard them called anything else besides a charger.

Now that you make me think about it I think I've been calling them different names depending on what I intended to use them for, most of the time (I'm translating) I call them phone charger but I also called the power supply or usb power supply when I wanted to power something else.
Never thought about it.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I call them '..a brick, a power brick.. a charger, no, the part you plug..'. Lmao, I carry one of these, whatever its cursed name is, with me literally everywhere I go so I don't have to ask for the thing. I feel you sib.
See also: portable USB memory.
Edit: unless you need another thing! A power bank? 'This?' Taking out a brick. A usb-c cable? 'What?' Phone charger? 'This?' No, the cable.. thanks.. sorry this is usb-a I'm gonna need the brick as well.. 'the what?' Smh.

wrote last edited by [email protected]A proper name would be an AC to DC adapter or a DC power supply.

Power brick, power adapter, or USB charger are what come to mind for me.
I gotta say I disagree heavily with your fiancee on dongles. IMO dongles are adapters for data of some kind, not just power from the wall. But to each their own I guess.

I'd call them USB adapters; "chargers" is probably slightly more common though never sat right with me since they can be used to power things other than charging.
Or more in the past we would call any kind of power adapters "transformers" but don't seem to hear that much any more.
