       My entire platform for president is to make it a felony to put a USB-C connector on a device that can only charge from a USB-A power supply.

       @mattblaze You mean the wall wart has a female A connector & thus the cable is male A to male C?

       @20002ist Right. They ship a device with a USB-C connector and a USB-C to USB-A cable, and warn you only their cable works.

       @mattblaze @20002ist USB-A to USB-C cables aren't uncommon, especially for charging. But "only their cable works" is bizarre.

       @SteveBellovin @20002ist Yes, I understand you can get the cables. I have cables.The problem is that if I see a USB-C connector, I should reasonably expect to be able to charge it with a USB-C charger.
