My colleague doesn't use the dock anymore because it is nothing but a glorified USB-C power adapter combined with an input for the HDMI signal.

However, due to Nintendo messing up the USB-C standard, this is dangerous and can brick the system! Otherwise, what would work is a USB-C dongle that transmits enough juice to the Switch (but not too much!), has an HDMI input to get the signal to the TV and voila, portability solved.

But no, Nintendo basically ensured that this is Russian roulette which can end up bricking your system.

Absolutely, I've considered a bunch of adapters, I even own one for my laptop that _should_ work with the switch, but I don't dare use it having read about issues of the third-party HDMI adapters bricking consoles. If I recall, they're blowing the power fuse because Nintendo is incorrectly negotiating PD.
