I call that passive recommendationIt would be safe since it contains a 56k ohm resistor. Safe is different than a quality recommendation lol

Yet you recommend an Anker cable which is a shady chinese cable?
It has the recommended backing by a Google Engineer: Benson Leung. I've never personally used it but I don't see anything wrong with it either...I call that passive recommendation
Reference the link willdunz posted: https://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/wishlist/KF89JCHI0KT4/ref=pdp_new_wlcan I just use a cheap aliexpress cable and use it on my old usb 2.0 port to prevent the switch from getting too much power?

P.s. it's undervolting that is the issue. The switch will try to pull more power than the host can provide.
and when it cannot get that power it will brick? how?
hope I will be fine for a one time hack application then.With extended use: the host will short out killing USB ports and sending spike through the system. I've provided ample doucmentation in this thread if you would like to know more.
Well, the OTG should be on the Micro USB end. Otherwise the Switch will be the host and your phone will be the client, and it probably won't work.Can I use android NX loader with a USB-C OTG and a micro usb cable?
these cords are like four dollars next to the register at CVS. They'll charge your switch hella slow, but I'm assuming most people here aren't using it for that purpose anyway. But go ahead, order a ten dollar cord off Amazon and wait two weeks.
Some people on here who think they are technically-inclined may in fact be technically-retarded
Hey guys. The only USB-C cable I currently own is from my old OnePlus 2 phone charger. I've already used it once on my Switch to try out the
Fusée Gelée payload and it worked fine, but it also had a pink screen for a few seconds when I tried to reboot it if that means anything. It still works fine after that but after doing some research on that cable I've found out that it is type-C 1.1 and uses a 10kΩ resistor instead of a 56kΩ resistor. I did buy the phone a couple years after release so I don't know if I got a revised cable (doubt it). That being said do you think it is dangerous to use it for the Switch to run coldboot exploits from now on and I should purchase a new cable?
It's type A to C.
Interesting. After more googling I saw that Benson Leung himself is the one that reported that my OnePlus 2's USB cable specifically is dangerous to use with other devices. "According to Google Engineer Benson Leung, the OnePlus Type-C USB cables do not comply with the specification and are potentially dangerous to use with some devices." He also mentioned that it's not good to use for devices that use fast charging. I don't use the cable to charge my Switch. I only planned to use it for delivering the payloads from my PC. Do you think that's still dangerous? I'll probably buy a new one just to be safe though.Most phone manufacturers are USB-IF compliant armed with the new knowledge of the 56k ohm pull up resistor rule; however, if you are unsure, you can always buy a new cable tested by Benson Leung:
