God usbc sucks so much. It’s like the connector designed by 60s-80s British dystopia.
If you don’t know exactly what kind of cable you’re plugging into exactly what kind of port, please for your own safety only use the cable that came with the thing you’re plugging up and the power adapter too.
What I’m about to say sounds insane but mixing and matching certain types of usbc chargers, cables and devices can start a fire.
I wouldn’t have believed it if it hadn’t happened to a family member and we hadn’t taken apart the cable, device and charger to figure out what went wrong.
