        Naw, USB-A is much more secure. I plug that end into my power bank, throw it in a bag or my pocket, and it’ll disconnect maybe 1 time out of the 100 that the USB-C or Lightning end does. It is a little larger, though.

        I just wish they didn’t come with chips inside our cables.

          A chip can literally just contain basic logic gates. Your aversion to them is based on pure Qanon fiction

            My aversion to them is an aversion to unnecessary overhead. A cable is a cable, it shouldn’t be a third device.

            No, the chip is a microcontroller with firmware. You can try to do it in pure logic but it’s a waste of effort and development resources.
