   Scariest cable I have that I actually use. It's a USB-C to Thinkpad "adapter" that I bought to power a thinkpad that shipped with a giant 135W brick-of-a-power-supply. This cable does work, but has the tendency to "overload" many USB chargers, causing them to reset. Fun times, but good for traveling so I don't have to lug the brick around with me as well.

     @gregkh my old thinkpad has one of those connectors/chargers as well, but it can also charge with a "normal" usb-c. Can't yours do that?

     @bagder Oh crap, yes, that does work on this model! It's even buried on the spec sheet if you read it close enough. It didn't on a previous model I had, so I'll blame that reason why I never tried this out. Ok, one less cable to carry around with me when traveling now, thanks!
