If any two USB-C "supporting" devices are connected together, the probability that one or both of them will be bricked tends towards 1, as time goes on. Sounds like it's impossible to implement the spec 100% correctly.

Interested in hearing more about your experience. Doing a lot of type-c research lately

I had my laptop (Thinkpad X1 Extreme) connected to a dell monitor via USBC. The monitor lost power suddenly (electricity meter ran out, heh). /somehow/ this caused something in the laptop's usbc power management hardware to fry. The laptop's type C ports no longer deliver power.

Hmm! That's a really interesting case. So your laptop was supposedly just providing video out, not power? Does dmesg give any hints when you plug in another type-c device to that port?

yes. The monitor is also capable of delivering power to the laptop, but not quite enough, so the laptop was also powered via a (non-usb) power adapter dmesg is silent.
