@valpackett@social.treehouse.systems Missed opportunity to market this as USB-Cone Of Shame.

@valpackett@social.treehouse.systems spare a brief explanation for someone unfamiliar with USB specs?

@valpackett@social.treehouse.systems Oh, for so cheap devices like the Nintendo Switch you mean?

@valpackett@social.treehouse.systems does it means that using this adapter I can charge USB-C devices that currently works only via their stupid USB A to C cables?

@valpackett@social.treehouse.systems very nice. Where can one get them? Also, I have already solved this for myself by combining an USB-C--Micro-USB-Cable with a Micro-USB--USB-C-Adapter. Both available at Reichelt in case anyone in Germany has the same problem and your solution is not available here. Still horrible though :/

@valpackett@social.treehouse.systems for people without context, what does it do, practically speaking?

@valpackett@social.treehouse.systems Next level is that they sell USB cables and power sources only as parts for self assembly 🤣

@valpackett@social.treehouse.systems What a normal and definitely well thought out ecosystem of products to exist I sure am happy that it's been trying to eat every other port.

@valpackett@social.treehouse.systems They don't have to be cheap devices to be non-compliant... the Audio Technica Sound Burger doesn't charge from compliant chargers. These adapters are nice.

@valpackett@social.treehouse.systems Ah yes, the USB-C(ock) extender / dong(le) sleeve, for enhancing your delivery into the port :neobot_blush:

@valpackett@social.treehouse.systems Now make one that tricks my charger into zapping my kindle with 20V @ 12A.

@valpackett@social.treehouse.systems the worst thing is I actually kind of need a couple of those. Even today there are brand new devices being manufactured which are “USB-C” yet only charge with the single dumbest charger I have. That includes brand new battery-powered Reolink cameras!!

@valpackett@social.treehouse.systems You know what's even more amazing? Those same things sell at 5CNY in China on Taobao with domestic shipping included. Export them to US and you got a 5x margin. Wow. (1USD=6.7CNY)

@valpackett@social.treehouse.systems but such adopter doesn't work for a C-to-Micro-B cable.
