    Yes, I know that. And it’s supporting the deck by the USB port, so essentially holding the whole thing up by a handful of small solder joints on a PCB, which if they break will pretty much brick the entire thing.

    I don’t know what pointing out the adaptor is supposed to change about this situation.

      I see what you’re seeing but it doesn’t look to me like it’s actually supporting the weight, it looks like the weight is being supported more under the deck itself.

        If there’s a stand that I can’t see then yeah, I guess I misunderstood. But if not then it would be taking some of the weight. That in itself might not be a huge issue until someone or something accidentally puts undue force on the deck. It’s like looking at a glass on the edge of a table. It’s not broken now, but I’m gonna move it away.

      That deck appears to have a kickstand. It’s hard to see, but it’s just to the right of the cable.
