Either it's usb to wall or usbc to usbc with all the features. I don't own anything else out of pure fear.

Do you throw away all your cables when new features are added?

Only when you start to own a device that uses one of those new features?

[–] randombullet@programming.dev 6 points 8 months ago

The latter.

I have 2 types of cables. USB 2.0 100w PD capable cables and USB 4 cables.

The USB 4 cables are too heavy to travel with so I have many more USB 2.0 PD cables.

I also have a sprinkling of USB 3.0 compliant A to C cables.

I throw away all the included USB 2.0 A to B to avoid mixups.

The latter. New features don't matter till I get a new device with them
