Today I'm doing a USB cable test.
I have quite a few to go through

ahh, one of those famous three-wire USB cables.
GND, VBUS, and D+ are connected, D- isn't. I'm sure that'll work fine

also this tester can tell if a USB-C cable is inserted upside down or not.
I kinda hate having this ability

@nil @foone People have done it; and I can even easily script my phone to work this way 🤪
