@levisan huh. if so, wonder what adapters would fare better! the ones i got are well-reviewed, but they didnt cost a lot and arent from an established brand: https://amzn.to/3XdGfZI
@levisan maybe i should spring for ones that are "USB-IF certified", like this one: https://amzn.to/3MeKfmu
not many mention this, seems like. even the adapters from anker don't seem to be certified (though some of their other stuff is)
@sabbatical I like how part of the goal of USB C was to make life simpler and here we are… not simpler!
@sabbatical Those giant double plug things were wild!
@sabbatical I saw a thing that was explaining all the various variants of C and it's so confusing behind the scenes… so I think it's the adaptor's fault
