    I got around this by keeping several USB-C to USB-C cables around, and buying female USB-C to male whatever adapters. Doesn’t cover everything, but enough that I got rid of a small crate full of cables and only have to keep a half-dozen or so other cables.

      I have a pair of Bluetooth headphones with a USB C port, that won’t charge unless the other end of the cable is USB A. So no USB C to C cables. Every time I have to charge them I want to report AKG to like, the EU parliament, or something

        Ah that sucks. Have you tried rotating the USB-C cable? I’ve got something like that, but if I flip one end of the USB-C cable it works.

          I might try that, but I’m also pretty certain that I read somewhere in the documentation that it was a deliberate limitation for whatever dumb reason
