    How do people even use the magsafe cables? Not a mac user, but I initially liked the idea - so I got some cables and port inserts which pretty much look like the apple variant. I stopped using it after killing a charger by shorting it out with some metal particles trapped by the magnet, and noticing that all cables started collecting small metal particles when used outside of a sterile environment.

      My current laptop has a MagSafe, and I had laptops from before they had switched to usb c charging and I have never had that problem.

      Do you work in a metal shop?

        Not that I’m aware of.

          I’m not sure, I can only reply anecdotally that I have used Apple laptops with mag safe connectors for many years and never had a problem with metal getting stuck in there and shorting stuff out.

          I think I remember a post from a few years back where someone was having problems charging and found a used staple stuck in there, but I don’t think it has been a wide spread problem.

      Wait, did all cables collect metal particles all the time, or did the MagSafe charger change that so it suddenly started doing that to every charger you own?
