Make sure to get the ones with active circuitry on them to negotiate charging speed, otherwise you will be stuck at 5v and under an amp.

I got some ti chip ones from aliexpress for around 4 bucks each that have worked flawlessly on laptops and phones.

yes that negotion is a specific protocoll of USB-C and was used to unlock fde encryption through the USB-C port connected secure enclave, that was happy to decrypt fed as if you had entered the password. the next generation had magsafe again :)
If you're talking about the T2 vulnerability - no, PD negotiation is not sufficient, you need arbitrary data communication.
sorry, but NO I didn't meant to say that. but part of the problem and part of the solution was usbc/nomore usbc.

Do you happen to have that github link with the poc link to youtube?

mind sharing a reference? didn't say it's a pd vuln btw edit: ah, I see – did say exactly that.
It's not just pd, it does all the wacky Samsung and other negotiation types too.
I’m more a fan of the unsafe ejection method.
