Huh, 14 comments in and no one telling me why this is actually good for me yet. Is the mirage finally wearing off?

- iamwpj 4y agoOk, I'll bite. I rarely buy a cable and the $30 charger at the store I'm already in is cheaper and easier than hunting for a deal or checking that the cable on Amazon is actually trustworthy. Apple certifying the cables for their devices? Sounds good to me. USB-C is open...for people to mess up. LTT has a good series where they test HDMI cables and quite a number are just crap. https://linustechtips.com/topic/1387053-i-spent-a-thousand-dollars-on-hdmi-cables-for-science/ https://linustechtips.com/topic/1387053-i-spent-a-thousand-d...
- pietro72ohboy 4y agoWhy is being USB-C being open conflated with “now every idiot and his mother will start making USB-C cables”? Couldn’t a consumer buy a cable from a reputed brand like Anker, Apple or Samsung and be done with it? I can never understand the weird stockholder syndrome of Apple users justifying its anti-consumer business practices in the name of convenience and standardisation.
