they should make usb-c cables with resistor color band type markings on them to tell you about their power and data transmission characteristics

@munin
I'm actually a little surprised no one is making these yet. Like, I guess I get that apple or Samsung aren't doing them, but being an option at some electronics chain? How is that not a thing?

That seems useful only if the marking code is common enough to be worth learning. (Or, if you expect to be able to find nonterrible cables with that code for long enough.)
