Some of these orang puteh on these online forum can be even more hopelessly moronic than the most hopeless, out-of-touch folks I've met around here that have an affinity against using anything modern like search engine or online shopping.

Siap kena pegang tangan, handholding....some even straight up wants to be told whats good for them and what to buy.

Nintendo Switch charging related. Post #10541 onwards. I don't wanna assume or put out a blanket statement that these hopeless fools are clueless when it comes to putting 2 and 2 together, but when handholding goes to the extreme like this, like "just tell me what to buy, and I'll buy it" kinda mentality, without fact-checking or even check-and-balancing what's being recommended to them, no wonder America's f**ked.

Bro,

While what you did (read, research, buy, test, write) and share is very commendable and I'm sure many silent readers appreciate the technical info, as well as "some layman explanation", there are many people who are not interested to study that in-depth. They will either buy something not tested/reviewed and use it (some works, some doesn't). Or some who has read about your review, and jump straight into the bandwagon to purchase battery pack and cable without further ado. This reminds me of the Simpsons meme "Just take my money"

While most recommendations for powerbanks and charger with intent to charge phones are relatively safe, when it comes to the Uncharted waters of USB-C and the dangers of out-of-spec cables, powerbanks and chargers, it's important that end users know what they're getting into. USB-A carries low current compared to USB-C and the potential of fire hazard is exponentially larger as we move higher in the wattage these USB-C charging devices.

Put it this way:

Sounds hyperbolic or over-dramatic? Nope, that's a terrifying possibility with high power delivery components. You can get away with USB-A because of its low power draw, not anymore with USB-C.

P/S: you're definitely not omputeh, with a name like Boboi. tongue.gif

OT already (non Nintendo)

What you say is very true, not just on USB-C, but any 3rd party chargers/cables/battery in our current technology of electrical/electronics. While at a certain stage in life, some (or most) of us will look at cost and buy the cheapest one (me included then). e.g. cheap charger. cheap USB cable. cheap battery pack. etc.
We will never know if these devices will melt or burst to flames and burn the house down while we are sleeping. I'm not saying original chargers won't, but generally, the amount of cases are near zero if compared to 3rd party stuff.

Penny wise, pound foolish. Nowadays I rather spend a bit more to buy proper stuff. e.g. Bare NS itself costs RM1.2-1.6k (depending on ^^argument^^ where can buy cheapest tongue.gif ), I should not skimp on proper accessories.
Same to stuff like RM4k iPhone, if can afford that, buy proper charger/adapter/cable to charge. Don't want to risk spoiling it.

Nowadays I switch off all electrical/chargers/wifi AP/modem when I'm going to bed. kiasi
