      The one good thing about Google’s Social media experiment was that guy who reviewed USBC cables to see if they actually adhered to the standards.

      It’s shocking how many didn’t have the proper resistors or components to properly handle data and charging.

      I used to keep every cable that came with any electronics. USB-C convinced me to throw away any cable I didn’t specifically buy. Even my charging cables are USB4 240w 40gbps because I got so tired of guessing which cable did what. I don’t even need those specs but I’ll never have to wonder which cable to use.
