 i've seen this shit more times than i can remember, these are shitty thin vinyl garbage cables from chongwor 
 My usbC ports always die way before the cable does.  usbC is garbage 
 well, it was no different with micro... and it's quite ridiculous that the simple blade contacts of apple and lightning have not become the norm

i mean, that's what's inside a standard USB-A anyway! which is only gay because it's one directional (the endless flip flop oh, this way, oh that way, oh, no it was this way) 
 Ya micro was bad too 
 i watched a super skilled bosnian electronics tech fix up some cables to become an OTG cable

man, this dude could have painted the mona lisa at 3 inch square, fuckin such steady hands
