Good, I don't know why I should have a problem with that? Though I disagree that a phone is not a 'general computing device' moreso than a gaming console is, it is hard to come up with a legally-clear definition of one.

Surely is a very strong statement here. I see no reason that a properly designed electronic timer wouldn't have effectively infinite lifetime, which is not possible with a practical mechanical timer. It has no moving parts (other than

What evidence do you have to blame the cable for the blue smoke escaping? It isn't really plausible for a bad USB-C cable to cause a device to fail in that way, at least unless the device itself was incredibly poorly engineered. There

How do you propose to sync a file without a server? What do you do about conflicts? Sure you can do this, but IMO the experience sucks in comparison.

I think the concern is generally air coming from the bleed air system (air that has been redirected from the engine core's compressor stages, prior to combustion) which is used to pressurize the plane. This can come from either the mai

The standard doesn't allow it, that is my point. A baseline of USB2 connectivity is required for both cables and ports. A baseline of 5V@1.5A is required . Compliant (USB) devices are required to come up and enumerate even if they

I don't have this hardware setup, so I don't know what's wrong with it, but it has nothing to do with the USB specs. If they were followed, then the situation you describe wouldn't occur.

You don't need e-marking for 3A charging. A non e-marked cable can deliver up to 60W (3A@20V). It must route the CC pin to be able to negotiate a higher voltage (>15W 3A@5V), but this is (spec) required for all USB-C cables. Edit: I
