This channel really is into USB cables, they've probably tested every interesting cable by now. Curious to see what's next.

What a clown show, cables shouldn't be this complicated. This makes old school barrel jacks even more likeable.

That shouldn't be an issue, the devices can regulate down the power to safe levels.

I knew that those cables were shady, but this result was actually surprising. It really went out with full fireworks.

Thanks, sure thing!

I don't think so, as they are a cool company in theory

 

We had this post a couple of days ago and people were discussing the technical specs of the cable: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/24120349

Seems like it actually is not too good and it may be better to choose one of those recommended here: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/22937894

Thanks, but I would rather get my cancer from a trusted source

I have one of those splitters, and now I'm afraid to use them. Any recommendations for alternatives?

I have one of those shown and never knew that they can make my devices go boom...

Any other things that may cause a surprise bonfire in my cable drawer?
