i'm currently experiencing one of the most cursed computer problems i've ever seen if i plug a type-C cable into my laptop and /leave the other end disconnected/, then for some reason, when i type on the laptop keyboard fast enough, every other keypress is skipped

I still have issues with USB-C causing my workstation to lock up completely when plugging in phones, unplugging them, or when they boot up and start trying to interact over USB-C. I've sometimes wasted substantial time due to this happening at the most inopportune moments.

it's amazing, everyone i know who can conclusively narrow down issues to a specific subsystem has this very complaint about type-C ports the official android docs even mention it

My phone is convinced it's constantly charging another device over USB-C, and thus won't connect to anything else via its USB-C port or charge over it (I have to charge wirelessly)

I've started to learn that it's a bad idea to do anything with USB-C unless I've prepared for a kernel panic / lockup. It happens maybe only 1/100 times but with how many times I have to switch between different phones and reboot them that's really quite a lot.

USB-C also seems to cause problems with my non-USB-C devices too. I have a variant of this to switch my keyboard + mouse between my Linux workstation and Windows desktop: amazon.ca/UGREEN-Selecto If there's a USB-C device plugged in to the workstation, switching can lock it up.
