I forgot the magsafe charger for my macbook at the office so on a whim I tried to see if it would also charge from one of the usb-c ports, and was happy to discover that it worked. I later tried a usb-c to usb-a cord that came with some cheap thing I can't remember, and it didn't work.

you just need like 10 of these cables and you'll never have a cable problem again

I later tried a usb-c to usb-a cord that came with some cheap thing I can't remember, and it didn't work. yeah usb a can't do high power charging because it lacks the chip thingy that handles determining the amount of power that can be delivered or whatever it is so it'll go down to the original usb spec which ain't gonna charge poo poo. my phone has a ridiculous 150W usb c charger it's nuts

Vanadium posted:what % of usb c cables have ever transferred a single actual byte instead of just charging some random rear end device i have a couple nvme ssd enclosures and i use usb-c cables with them. most of my cameras use usb-c too. having the same connector on all of the devices, my pcs, my ipad and my android phones is great and you can pry the cables from my cold dead hands that said a lot of devices do just use it for power

poo poo was like this at the beginning of USB as well, you had a bunch of noncompliant hardware and poo poo you had to install drivers for and stuff that didnt put out enough/consumed too much power and so forth i assume at some point the industry will sort itself out on that score eventually but i wish they'd hurry the gently caress up also the connector sucks rear end

its just weird to me that a cable is the part that is nonstandard. To my way of thinking, a cable is just several lengths of wire. I feel like having active electronics in them is a bad idea.

like ok maybe your lengths of wire are too long or too thin or whatever but in broad strokes a cable should just be a cable

well you're in luck, that's why usb 2 usb-c cables exist. afaik there's no active electronics in them other than maybe a pull-up resistor

i had a usb-mini port break off in and then (I think) destroy a cable. i didn't realize there was a piece jammed in there and it burned me when i touched it. also i think it broke another device that i plugged it into, but that might have been a coincidence (i'm not even 100% sure i plugged it into the busted cable)

one time I managed to charge my dead phone by hooking up a micro b cable to a lantern battery. I returned home after being out at sea and forgot to pay my electric bill before I left and it was shut off, so I needed it to call the electric company and pay. afaik can't do that poo poo with usb c. it's ok otherwise afaic tho
