   @grillchen vacation soon and I want safety when sticking it in.
   
   should I get this for 14 EUR or are there better / cheaper ones? :ChenShrug: do I need to watch out for something?

     @kaia @grillchen can't you get a charge-only USB cable?

     @FUCKINGWHOCARESDUDE @grillchen
     that would also work! but do I have to look out for something? I think the phones to negotiations with the chargers to determine charging speed? so a dumb cable without such lanes would always charge slow maybe?

     You can literally do the same by just removing the the 2 data pins.

     @kaia @FUCKINGWHOCARESDUDE @grillchen i think a really fancy one could pass through the power negotiation while blocking data?

     @kaia @grillchen "anything" from aliexpress will work correctly, if you're looking for USB3 or big power delivery you might wanna look for a reputable brand

     @kaia @grillchen Anker is a brand I like for their power brick. Maybe this adapter will interest you :

     @kaia @grillchen I just looked who were the people selling these 4adapters and...
     Tbh I had doubts due to presentation pics that looked from aliex, now it's pretty much confirmed.

     @mangeurdenuage @grillchen
     apparently someone tested the cables in my original picture (deepl translation)
     
     Charging devices works great. Important to know: If a laptop is to be charged via USB-C, the plug must be plugged into the laptop and not between the power supply unit and the cable. This is because the power supply unit must communicate with the cable to determine up to which power the cable is suitable. If the blocker is plugged into the laptop and the cable is plugged directly into the power supply unit, then up to 100 watts will flow (see image). However, if the plug is plugged into the power supply unit and only then is the cable connected, the output is only approx. 15 watts.

     It's suspicious.
     We have no photos posted by the people who already bough it.
     They insist on transparency with "blocking" components
     We have no view of the inside of the connectors to check if the data pins are physically absents due to the pics being entirely just pc renders.
     There's a good chance you'll receive something that has the same channels and that they either added a fake way for data to not look like it's transmitted or they added something that will infect potential customers.

     @mangeurdenuage @grillchen @kaia What power bank is that? I’m thinking about getting a new one, my existing one’s #USBC port is starting to get worn down.

     @kaia@brotka.st @grillchen@brotka.st Ay I got u, get one of these :kekw:
     You just plug it into the wall (no data) and you charge your phone. :3d_blobcat_woozy:
     Pros:
     - Can't get hacked
     - Charges A LOT faster
     Cons:
     - Can't download your nudes from your phone to the public library computer.
     
     Going to a country with a different socket standard than your country's? No problem, get a fucking adapter :kekw:
