I genuinely appreciate tech for its logical nature—most of the time it's predictable, transparent, easy to debug. But then something like this happens and it drives me crazy: I had this USB-C cable that refused to charge my phone through one specific port. Swap it to another cable? Works fine. Use the same "broken" cable on a different device? Works like a charm. Suddenly your tech stack feels less like engineering and more like black magic. You're left scratching your head wondering which layer actually failed—the cable, the port, the firmware, or just entropy itself.

USB-C really is Schrödinger's malfunction—every time, you have to troubleshoot for ages to find out who's at fault.

ngl that's why I absolutely don't believe in the idea that "technology is just logic"... USB-C really feels like mysticism, doesn't it?

ngl that's why I hate troubleshooting... Clearly logical things can still turn into Schrödinger's malfunction.

Honestly, USB-C is just a mystery; mine also has these weird issues.

That's why I gave up trying to understand hardware, pure black magic.
