why do so many cheap usb cables advertise themselves as "sync and charge cables"
-F
@noiob is that allowed by the USB spec?
-F
@Felthry I think so? They're supposed to short the data pins together
@Felthry also like, who cares about the spec if it works, and it's useful if you don't trust the USB port
@noiob yeah i was just wondering if that was technically allowed because it sounded like the kind of thing that wouldn't be
-F
@Felthry I don't have a copy of the spec lol
@Felthry the cheapest ones only do charging
