I would consider tossing the usb-a to usb-c cables that do not have a confirmed 56k ohm resistor.

- ThatPlayer 16d agoSimilarly USB cables that do not carry data lines
- aranaur 16d agoThough these should be cut in half before discarding so that no one "helpfully" retrieves them.
- notpushkin 15d agoThe USB-A half is helpful sometimes. I’ve soldered mine to a barrel plug and I’m using it to power various 5V devices now.
- dataflow 16d agoI think I disagree. I just (re-)discovered a couple of my cables don't have data lines a few hours ago, prompted by the earlier discussion. My initial instinct was also to throw them away like you said. But then I realized they're actually quite useful for any case where you want to prevent data transmission, whether due to security or other reasons.
- JMiao 16d agoagree. i have no issue with charging only cables, they’re often lighter and more flexible, but i do require the 56k ohm resistor to wrangle misbehaving devices that could start a fire.
