Just acquired a new tester and it has shown me that so many of my USB cables are lies.

USB-A to C cable plugged into a treedix tester, showing that many of the pins not connected.

@thTrammell Hudson definitely recommend getting one of those. USB-C is a complete mess and having this tester allowed me to sort trough and recycle cables that are power-only etc. Saved me so much time and headaches... but I'd like to have one that would measure resistance as well (you'd be able to spot if cable begins to break etc)
