Got a bedside charger from Anker that has a little screen that shows the wattage draw. Well, it turns out I've been using cables that can't handle more than 12w to try to power a laptop from a 65w charger. What a mess!

USB C is great, instead of different plugs that clearly denote different capabilities we now have the same plug for like a dozen different cable types. Which aren’t marked in anyway to say what cable they are!
