I feel we are still talking orthogonally. Connectors are the same, so what? A cheap and poor micro usb, or apple magsafe, or household 110v or whatever cable, can fry your stuff. Regardless of connector or standard or shape or size you can buy a quality product or a crap product. Usb c is not a sign of quality. It's a standard. I think to siblings point, you can buy an apple fake charger that can fry your Macbook. That's not apples fault or standard fault or universal design fault. That's a crappy no name cheap part fault. Don't get me wrong. I used to buy 50cent Dollarama cables too. Then I followed some of the links fellow hacker news folks posted and now I don't - whether usb c or whatever else. Seeing an oscilloscope or whatever graph of quality vs shoddy charger is illuminating and terrifying.
