@yakkoTDI Ah, but which of the multitude of USB-C ports and cables and devices is it? There are so many more ways to have a mismatch with USB-C than there were before. Essentially, just saying “it’s USB-C” says next to nothing about the supported options within that lack-of-standard, and essentially nobody marks the cables to say what they’re capable of carrying.
@mycya4me And micro will often will outperform its own nominal specifications, too. For all that micro is justifiably despised, it was at least relatively reliable in what it could do. The C that replaced it has become a dark and twisty little tangle of standards, none marked and all different. I’ve actually got a couple of “charge via USB-C” things that will not charge using any USB-C cable except the one supplied with the device. And then there’s the one that will charge with most C-to-C cables, but only from certain types of wallwart.
USB-C was this shiny thing that was supposed to solve all the problems, but instead it added more in many instances.
Never. She even states it clearly, USB-C is just the shape.

You have micro USB that look somewhat like USB C.
