    I’m not a huge fan of typec connectors and especially for purposes of charging larger objects. Chinese made typec connectors aren’t standard complying in general (as in they often have wrong length) and you can’t reliably tell what you can expect with any given cable, and it’s hard to even find good cables longer thatn 1.5 meters even harder if it’s 2 meters +. And connectors themselves aren’t all that reliable and have a common problem of inner ‘tongue’ breaking in harsher conditions. etc. etc.

      Given that most connectors are Chinese, even when used in products with non-Chinese brands, do you think your personal biases are perhaps getting in the way of your objective opinions?

        Chinese off brand cables and connectors, my personal bias doesn’t play a role here, they are objectively bad at making standard compliant usb.

          But if they’re making the majority of connectors on and off-brand and the majority are fine, clearly your language highlights that you’re just a weird racist pushing a senseless agenda

            Fucking hell, if you were just fishing for something to be offended about just say it, no need for this exercise. Off brand cables are shit, on brand usually have minimal qc.

            Chinese is not a race, lol.
