> "You can't expect an off-brand USB-C adapter" Surely that's the point of standards: I don't have to purchase an Apple USB-C connector; I can purchase any USB-C connector, and it will perform correctly? As an educated techie I understand that this isn't true because: - Some cables may be counterfeit/non-compliant - The nomenclature "USB-C" encompasses a multitude of differing standards - The differing standards are rarely identified or clearly explained at point-of-sale. But this is, essentially, a consumer clusterf*ck.
