  Non-standard as in there’s no standard in cables. Some support fast charging some don’t. Some support hdmi, some don’t support data at all. They won’t catch fire to anything. If the bricks are under powered because they were meant for a kids toy it won’t catch fire, it just won’t charge as fast.

  If a manufacturer suddenly decides to support 500W charging, none of us will have the gear to support that and companies like Anker or UGREEN will be more than willing to price gouge the cables and bricks we would need. It’s already happening at 65W.

  With so many non-standard cables and chargers, it’s crazy to me that this is what manufacturers want their customer experience to be. My mom had no idea she was trickle charging for over a year until I visited. Neither the brick or the cable was capable of fast charging. She said it took all night to charge, like that’s a normal thing. She’s not into electronic tech and I’d imagine she’s not the only one in the world.
