Hacking Question Mac Book Pro vs. Switch

[RAWWR]

hey there

got a short question cuz I'm not be able to use any usb-nsp installer.

If I plug my Switch into my macbook via usb-c for file transfer or something, the switch is immediately CHARGING my Macbook.
WTF is going on here?

Off the top of my head I believe USB-C is how MacBooks charge so you'll probably need a USB cable connected to a USB-C adapter into the Switch to get it to work.

Apple is known for stealing energy from their customers. They transfer it wireless to a cetral charging station and and sell it to Elon Musk

Thats why he said to use a USB C adapter.
You want something like this plugged into the Macbook.

And then a standard USB C cable going from that to the Switch.

It depends on the order you plug the devices in. If you plug your cable into the Switch first and then the MacBook second, the MacBook should act as the host.

If you use a USB A to USB C cable, this problem should be mitigated.
