    The fuck you mean “charger is supported” it’s literally few capacitors and a transformer

      Let me introduce you to the magic of USB Power Delivery, an incredible standard that brought forth USB-C devices that can’t work at all with USB-C chargers, since they don’t speak the required protocol.

      Slow charging is compatibility mode. That’s a tad better than not working at all.

      Yay to the USB standards bodies, and the many non-standards implementers, I guess.

        it’s not even just unsupported protocols, it’s also about voltage levels the charger and device supports

        That is like saying “my car has square tires and they won’t work at all with these standard flat roads”. Seriously, these stupid manufacturers are choosing to not put 2 tiny resistors next to the USB-C connector. They cost 1 cent when you buy them in individual quantity. Less than 0.1 cent for large quantities. That is what they save while breaking C-to-C.

      5V 1A and the like are now rightfully considered slow charging. Since most chargers have at least some level of USB PD now, the phone tells you there’s a chance either the higher voltage lines on it broke or it couldn’t negotiate a higher voltage and amperage.
