My nemesis is the "charge only" cable. I plug it in and can't figure out why my devices won't connect.

  Do yourself a favor. Get a cable tester. Test every cable and cut up/throw away the ones you do not love. Then order more really good ones than you can justify and keep them handy.

    A better use of money, imo, is to just throw out any and all charge-only usb-c cables. Life's too short to be dealing with that crap. (Speaking as someone that bought a tester but rarely uses it. If the cable doesn't at least work to connect my laptop and whatever peripheral that I have handy at time: trash can.$

      I think there is one use-case for them: Plugging them into public usbc charging ports.
