Wouldn’t it be dangerous to plug this into a device that does not expect to be powered?

  No moreso than using a USB-A to USB-C cable, unless I fundamentally misunderstand something

    Doesn’t USB-C deliver more volts and amps?

      Not if you’re using the resistors to demand power. It will only provide 5v, the same as USB-A. It’s sort of a “backwards-compatibility” mode.

        Right. You need USB Power Delivery, which requires the chip mentioned in the article, to get real power.

      My USB-C to 240v dryer plug will work great at doing something.
