Thanks for the heads up. This is a useful warning, as the magnetic adapters seem attractive, but they are not worth it if they risk frying your device.

They're worth it if the risk is small and the device is relatively cheap and low power (5v charging). I'm not going to use these on my MacBook or phone with fast charging but I'll use them on my gamepad and headphones no problem. And I use them for charging only, not data.
