   Encountering an irritating number of devices that are charged/powered via a USB-C port but that don’t work with a USB-C pd charger (only with a USB-C to USB-A cable).

     I’m hard pressed to think of another “standard” that has as many incomprehensible and unpredictable ways things can be incompatible as USB-C.

     Bonus irritation: a device with a USB-C port that works with a PD charger only if the cable is plugged in one orientation, but will work in either orientation if connected to a USB-A charger. (A Phillips rechargeable pocket work light).

     @mattblaze Yet so many people will tell me I'm the one doing it wrong.
