I bought a garbage USBC cable and while it didn’t fry my device, it damn near got me in several car accidents. It was faulty and continually disconnected and reconnected for no apparent reason while I was driving. This meant losing navigation at total random, even when I needed information to make turns.

I have no idea why a brand new cable would behave like this but after several scary interactions on the road I stopped trusting the standard and bought a better cable.
