Not every USB-C cable is the same, and it’s a growing problem

USB-C is an excellent format for many reasons. The big one for me is that I can use one cable for all my devices, at least for the most part. There are still big differences between cables, so the fact that they all look the same can actually be a big deal in many cases. No, I don’t think you have to worry about anything catastrophic, but it would be a bummer to bring the wrong cable with you on a work trip only to find out you can’t charge your laptop at all.
