How I would design my own surge protector power strip

Catched my attention as the receiver was still using an old 80's Korean power supply, literally the size and shape of brickwork. Brick, 4 outlets (full credit for 40 years of trouble free service). You'll never see this again, in the modern era of one-day, testy, cynically designed marketplaces filled with Chinese technology. But that's not this product. It's 1/4 weight, 1/3 height, 1 inch longer and the same width, but has a 1280J surge protector (compared to an analog fuse - not replaceable without disassembly :/). 6 power outlets (two further apart for those inevitable unnecessarily bulky power adapters), 2 smart USB-A and one smart USB-C charging port. Cables for workstations in premium driver's cabs. Now the Apple power adapter that the recipient is supposed to use to charge their tablet no longer touches the cable above where it sits, so there's less damage to the underdesigned (and expensive) cable if you need to take it with you. You don't have to worry about vintage '80s technology turning to scorching smoke next to the recipient's foot or if she forgets her charger, as the charging ports are built-in. The cable is a bit long for our use case but might be ok for others (longer is better when it comes to cable length as long as you don't have to lug it around). in hand luggage). I bought a special travel charger for this to keep it in the office where it fits perfectly. Would buy again :)
