about 3 months ago I bought some USB-C <-> USB-A [1] cables on Amazon. I plugged one into my MacBook and it immediately turned it off and banned it from the system. I started to smell electrical burning. I yanked the cord out of the wall and never touched it again. Threw away the whole pack.

The cables were made in China and re-branded by a USA company.

Don't buy cheap Chinese garbage electronics.
