Attention Mac laptop users: It might be time to update your magsafe charger. Seriously, WTF:

Apple recently issued a firmware update for the two-meter USB-C to MagSafe 3 charging cable, but it's unknown what it updates or fixes.

@briankrebs I still don’t understand how they went MagSafe -> USB C -> MagSafe for charging

@rjmd @briankrebs MagSafe 3 *is* USB (unlike 1 and 2), just with a magnetic plug.

@chucker @rjmd @briankrebs yes, and they contributed the magnetic technology to the USB standard, so it will be open to all device makers.
