Hypothetical charger disaster
We have several chargers plugged in next to each other, and the leads inevitably get tangled up. Given that usb-c charger cables have the same plug at each end, there’s scope to make the mistake of plugging a cable into two different chargers by mistake. Ahem, what will happen?
