Remember that episode of Alias when Kevin Weisman's character made a listening device that was disguised as a cable? It was a more advanced design than the feds had in mind, so when the feds piggy-backed onto his cable, they just used a clunky looking coupler.
Did you see the story a while ago about the user that used a sub standard USB-C cord on his $1000 Pixelbook and it fried it? He then created an awesome spreadsheet that went worldwide documenting which cords were safe and which ones were not. I know that doesn't directly relate to your post, but I think it speaks to the fact that we should always be careful what we are plugging into our very expensive devices.

Well, time to make a purchase.
This would probably be a good way to access all my old iPhones with smashed screens too!

Damn, the more you know....
What is this overpaid for a power cord! Flagged for rewards! Too much! what is this?
LOL I didn't buy a single vote
well i saw minnow support, you’re not a minnow, so flag! I can disagree on rewards.
Fair enough, but not a single vote was bought.
ok i’ll edit my comment about the buying part. See steem tainted itself, we all just assume it’s bits now, we’re programmed. sorry

No, but I do know the Raspberry Pi 4 USB-C port isn't standard and has problems with some USB-C cords. Similar problem.
