Eh, it’s not too bad. I found a cable that works and I’ll stick to it. Even with previous-gen Pis there was always a bit of futzing with cables to find one that has small enough voltage drop to not get power warnings (even some otherwise “good” cables really cheap out on copper). The USB C thing is still an issue, and I’m glad it’ll be fixed, but it’s really not that big of a deal.
- hazeii 7y agoHaving chopped up quite a few USB cables to power Pi's from fixed supplies (for professional use), I can totally relate to this. Even thick 'quality' cables commonly have dinky little copper wires inside, wrapped in lots of plastic. The only cables we found that were decently made were Molex ones which cost around 10UKP each at the time (a price we were happy to pay).
