Comment on I'm so sick of dinky shitty devices with garbage rechargeable batteries
MSugarhill@feddit.de 7 months agoSad thing is, it’s not entirely true: I have a baby night light that charges with usb-c. But only if you have some old usb-a brick on the other side of the cable. Nut a single usb-c to usb-c cable and charger combination I tried worked neither does the charger ofy ThinkPad work.
Another thing I hate is that those usb-c phone ports always suck up lint, and at some point refuse to work. Which makes cleaning needed and might break your charging port.
And yeah, I still think it’s the vest option available.

Did you try flipping the cable over? Some of the ports or cables that use USB C are super cheaply made and get rid of the flippability.
Which is part of the problem…

In the one fand, I did not try it just once, so just by accident this would have happend. But yes I too tried it deliberately.
