I bought one of these cheap no name USB-C cables that shows the current charging PD wattage on a tiny built in LCD. I have been using it for months to charge my Android phone and MacBook.

I recently bought a little used Yoga Thinkpad, I’m not really a Windows guy. On plugging just the cable into a USB port with nothing on the other end Windows made its little “device plugged in” ba-da-doop sound that Windows makes.

I didn’t see anything interesting in my quick scan of device manager but that single ba-da-doop stopped me from using my favorite cable cold turkey. I should investigate it further.
