Tip: use magnetic ports/cables on your USB devices. Moved to these after that happened to me years ago and love them - quick and easy to connect/disconnect, and less worry about tripping over the charge cord flinging the device across the room.

The only disadvantage is I haven't found any that support high amp/watt charging.

There's a good reason they don't support high amp/watt charging.

Wasn't there an issue that with magnetic cables the ground pins aren't the first pins connected / disconnected?

(Edit -- autoexec had the same memory of the same thread as I did)
