And then there’s dumb devices like flashlights that may not have the resistor that negotiates a basic rate with C ports, barring it from charging. A-C cables work because they still allow 500mA without negotiation
Comment on My phone, iPad, and laptop finally all use the same USB-C charger. The galaxy is at peace.

Now enjoy the power brick roulette. My work laptop charger (dell) won’t do anything more than trickle charge anything else (other than my girlfriend’s Mac?!). I had to buy a new brick to get something that appears to charge everything at each devices rated speed.
Being able to charge a laptop from my monitor using the same cable that handles the display output and peripherals is cool too! (But that DOESN’T work on a Mac… It won’t pass the keyboard through!)
“Standards”!

I bought a very small 100w Anker charger that works on everything USB c so far. I don’t carry my dell one anymore.
