What kind of "wrong"?

2019-04-08 21:34:44 UTC  

I can see all teh details but they dont look rigght because im looking at an inverted version of it. Like, you can see thede on the edges so the chinks actually have a lot of good tolerance for this

2019-04-09 04:49:12 UTC  

@bentech same, tell me if you buy it, I want first hand experiences

2019-04-09 04:49:27 UTC  

I might buy it in May or so

2019-04-09 04:56:27 UTC  

Think I'll have much luck selling a Noctigon Meteor now that the new Emisars exist?

2019-04-09 05:02:10 UTC  

I'll take it for 10 dollars and a $30 jcpenny gift card i still have from christmas.

2019-04-09 05:26:19 UTC  

Hey lads, do NOT buy this cable. It is straight up House Fire tier

I set my phone to charge and was watching TV, and after about 20 minutes I smelled something burning. Turn around and the part of my couch it was on was smoking slightly.

2019-04-09 05:28:33 UTC  

If I had gone to sleep while this was charging like I was originally planning to, I'd probably be dead now

2019-04-09 05:29:02 UTC  

I almost got Top k(ek)'d

2019-04-09 05:35:50 UTC  

So yeah, TOPK is now firmly in the "untrusted brand" category for me now

2019-04-09 05:37:32 UTC  

I don't buy anything except for the round power only ones, but TOPK is my brand of choice for those.

2019-04-09 05:37:48 UTC  

I still dont get the actual convenience added by magnetic cables

2019-04-09 05:37:49 UTC  

But good to confirm that my choice of avoiding data cables was smart

2019-04-09 05:38:19 UTC  

Is it .5 seconds faster to connect it to the cable and people care about this

2019-04-09 05:38:36 UTC  

Yes. I gotta buy cables anyways, why not faster ones?

2019-04-09 05:39:00 UTC  

And they act as safe breakaway cables, with no risk of breaking off a plug

2019-04-09 05:39:16 UTC  

The more variables added the more chances of chang burning my house down

2019-04-09 05:39:18 UTC  

Also good to plugin in the dark.

2019-04-09 05:39:19 UTC  

Saves wear and tear on the port, too.

2019-04-09 05:39:57 UTC  

That's a big one. Acts as a dust cover too. I had to clean lint out of my HTC 10s USB-C port twice.

2019-04-09 05:41:34 UTC  

Also, the same cable will work for my USB-C and micro USB devices, as well as my friends Apple devices.

2019-04-09 05:42:00 UTC  

The dust cover is probably the only tangible benefit to me but i have about a thousand fucking cables to break first so i'll let you enjoy your memes yourselves

2019-04-09 05:42:37 UTC  

I already have 2in1 cables for the car and power bank

2019-04-09 05:42:50 UTC  

Maybe I just got a dud or something, or maybe my also-chinkshit charger is to blame, but for safety, I won't be using these cables again.

2019-04-09 05:42:56 UTC  

There's really no strong argument to be made for either side, they're just another good option.

2019-04-09 05:43:21 UTC  

@Matthew Probably tiny pins having shit contact area and heating up

2019-04-09 05:43:21 UTC  

I'd guess the charger first tbh

2019-04-09 05:43:31 UTC  

Depends which end heated

2019-04-09 05:43:43 UTC  

The business end.

2019-04-09 05:44:00 UTC  

Why would you ever buy non-ugreen dear

2019-04-09 05:44:26 UTC  

The actual plug part was too hot to pick up directly.

2019-04-09 05:45:56 UTC  

@Omoidasu why? One of my chinkshit-related hobbies is to buy gimmicky products, try them, and see if they ever make it to America in a more refined form.

2019-04-09 05:48:25 UTC  

Half the fun of /csg/ really is the gamble and the experience.

2019-04-09 05:49:05 UTC  

All i feel from unknown brands is regret and an empty bank account

2019-04-09 05:49:26 UTC  

Like the dozens of socks i have that dont fucking fit my big boi feet

2019-04-09 05:49:56 UTC  

I've had a few lemons, but some real gems

2019-04-09 05:50:24 UTC  

If you aren't a U.S. size 12 or higher, gtfo @Omoidasu

2019-04-09 05:50:33 UTC  

I once shotgun bought aux cables from i think 7 different sellers and there was one good one that no longer exists as a store on ali

2019-04-09 05:50:43 UTC  

Gonna throw out a salt grinder I got, but I out-chinked the chinks and got a free laser engraver.
