    Cable Charger compatibility (Apple included)

    So I saw Apple has new braided USB-C cables! But the 1m cable is just 60W instead of 100W... Now, hypothetically... What if I only want to carry around one charger and one cable for iPhone, iPad and Mac... What if I use the shorter 1m braided 60W cable with a 96W charger and my MacBook Pro...

    MBP M1Pro with USB-A & Ethernet

    We all think different. Some people like ports and some don't. Some people like adapters and hubs, while some people don't. I can understand why Apple kept only Thunderbolt ports few years ago and also why they reintroduced old-new ports on new MBPs. An objective fact. Now comes the subjective...

    Will this power cable work with an A1176 Mac Mini?

    I bought a power cable for my A1176 Mac Minis, but I was a bit dumb and didn't realize that it didn't come with the actual part that plugs in to the wall. Will something like this work? If not, is there anywhere I can find one that will work or would I have to purchase a new cable?
