If you are buying long premium braided cables it might help you save some money and space.

I'm not sure what devices these days are fine with a USB C to USB C connection. I feel like a USB C to USB A (male) to USB A (female) to USB C connection would allow you to use a USB C wall charger safely by acting as a kind of bottleneck but it would mean potentially carrying two cables.

Do you have any sbcgaming "life hacks"?

Why use an adapter? Because a significant amount of devices won't charge without it.

Why YSK? It stands for You Should Know. I figured these days people might have more USB C cords on hand than USB A to USB C and it's reduced the amount of stuff I put in my bag.

If it's the last bit I'm wondering if something like this

Would allow someone to use a USB C wall charger.
