PSA: if you try to use your Nintendo Switch charger with another Type C device and it cuts off, it's your *device's* fault. Pulling >1.5A.

Some people were saying the Switch charger is buggy/broken. No, just paranoid. Your device is broken. Charger needs power cycle to reset.

The Nintendo Switch charger *correctly* identifies itself as a 1.5A capable charger. Many devices *incorrectly* try to draw more current.

And yes, the Nexus 5X is one such noncompliant device, as is Anker's PowerCore 20100 :(

Might be fixable in software indeed. Depends on how the charge controller is set up.

Yup, because that's what works with the USB BC spec *up to 1.5A*. Going above that is illegal.
