I just bought an expensive c-type ($18) which said superfast on its packing only to found out now its charging speed is super slow: more than 3 hrs to charge my phone while another c-type I have does it in less than 1.5 hrs.

Why the heck does the "cross-posted from" link direct me to BDSM content on Jerboa? π²
I'm also using jerboa and got no issues
Same. Super disappointed
Works fine on browser - seems like a Jerboa issue
It's a bug in your client, and the post it gets is related to your instance. That's why the other person that says they get the same incorrect post is from your same instance.
Huh, same here, that's odd
Also works fine on Boost, links to a post on [email protected]
Maybe you should open an issue about it?
AI?
There are different types of type C???? I still don't know if a USB micro or mini is the one that charges my PS4 controller or which one transfers data from my 20 year old digital camera.
Mini for PS3 controllers, micro for PS4 and most android phones that were made prior to about 4 or 5 years ago.
And C for PS5? π funny how they have generations in line with USB IF
I still don't know if a USB micro or mini is the one that charges my PS4 controller
It's Micro-B, to be specific.
I didnβt realize that what I know as Mini-USB and Micro-USB were really Mini-B and Micro-B until embarrassingly recently, when I saw Nostalgia Nerdβs video on USB. I just never encountered Mini-A and Micro-A, all of my mini and micro cables were standard A on the host end.
I worked IT and didnβt realize this. (Admittedly it was IT for a small, shitty company. And my degree is in development, not hardware.)
I had a similar experience, and didn't realize it until I read your comment here. Thanks for sharing!
Even at early bird pricing (39,-β¬) I'd rather get a cable that has the specs I need.
This seems to do a little bit more than simply list the specs (show shorted pins and whatnot), but it doesn't do any kind of load testing (tests like does sending 240 watts over the wire somehow interfere with the data transfer).
Most of the cables that I have lying around are USB 2.0 100 watts PD, as that's what most devices come with that have a cable in the box. For other cables I know what they're capable of because I read the spec sheet before purchasing them.
This might be useful to shops who sell refurbished phones that want to quickly check whether used USB-C cables are still good, but I don't see why anyone would want this for personal use.
