Off topic, but I bought a handful of magnetic cables and a few different ends to match our devices, and now one cable works for charging everything.
It has the downside of not letting you connect the device to a computer, but because they’re magnetic, they’re breakaway cables. My kid has walked away with their tablet after forgetting to unplug it, and nothing bad happens 👍
Careful with those, almost started a house fire once because the connection wasn’t as tight as it needed to be. With it being magnetic and carrying power you into the risk of metal debris magnetising itself on it and completing a circuit
I’ve looked into getting these magnetic connectors for some of my devices but I’ve seen to many horror stories online about electrical damage caused by these cables. Seems worth it just to stick to plain connectors.

Or just non fast wireless chargers
I’ll keep an eye on them, thanks for the heads up 👍
