You can't be saying the first with a straight face if you then type the second about a specialized hardware testing device that no average consumer will ever use
- swiftcoder 3mo agoSure you can, the fancy tester is just geekery at this point. Any cheap Amazon Basics cable from the last few years will do 100w PD just fine. The average consumer is never going to find most of the weird configurations that cause problems with USB-C cables (i.e. shit like wanting DP-altmode at 4K120hz over the same cable you are running 100w PD)
- eviks 3mo agoIf you're so out of touch with the average consumer experience, read comments to this post (e.g. a charger turned out to be too powerful for the device/cable, wasn't there supposed to be negotiation baked in?) or any other popular post about usb-c
- swiftcoder 3mo agoI don't know what to tell you man, I manage (and/or help manage) hundreds of USB-C devices, across work, family and friends, all using cheap cables and a random mix of cheap charger bricks and MacBook chargers. Apart from one charger brick that caught fire randomly, I haven't seen an issue in years.
- eviks 3mo agoYou don't need to tell me anything, just look around beyond your "I", other "I"s have seen the issues and reported them for you to see
