I regularly, accidentally, grab a USB-C>USB-C cable instead of USB-A>USB-C. And then I think by myself, I’ve never had this many cables that don’t fit.
Good thing is, I have plenty of USB-C cables of different lengths, most of which I don’t know the origin. At least they’re in a box in my home and not in a landfill.
“In the interest of this investigation, no further comments will be made.”
How convenient. Probably doesn’t fit the agenda.
