The Big USB-C
1 GoodGymer made their way to help the Cancer ‘speak easy’ in Ealing.
- Thursday, 26th of September 2024
- Led by Kash
Gayle and Jackie from Empathy Souls were almost set up for their Speak Easy event when Sevan arrived at 9:30. All that was left to do was:
- Put the soup for lunch in the soup kettle;
- Brief Sevan on his task during the sessions; and
- To connect Gayle's laptop with today's presentation to the TV
Stephanie, the community champion co-ordinator from Ealing Council took on the messiest task, transferring the soup. Meanwhile, Sevan was introduced to the survey questions and QR codes that he was to ask the attendees to complete. Other than that, he was to be another participant during the morning session.
Connecting Gayle's Macbook to the TV turned out to be the biggest challenge of the morning as ActOne's TV had an HDMI cable and Gayle's laptop a USB-C port, with no way to bridge them. Sevan found a shop a couple of doors down that sold phones and other tech equipment, but the owner wouldn't be around to advise and sell the right item for another 45 minutes.
Sevan was a bit worried. What if after waiting, they didn't even have the cable that Gayle needed. He went for a run along the High Street in Acton, trying to find anywhere else that would sell a suitable adaptor. After having no luck in Morrisons and Poundland, he didn't see any other options, so returned to ActOne. Luckily, the shop 2 doors down did have the right cable, which Sevan fitted in time for the session to start 🙌
