What a joke. This product and service was doomed to fail from the start.

Like everything else the orange dude is involved in...

There are a lot of parallels, where we used something for years, only for the public to learn that the industry has known for some time that the <insert_material> was hazardous and resulted in long-term health impacts.  Your comment may have been tongue-in-cheek, but there are anti-regulation folk that constantly espouse the virtues of businesses self-regulating, and yet industry after industry fail us time and again.  Nobody wants to admit they are the problem, want to fight with their shareholders to do the right thing, or literally cut their own future paychecks by taking an alternative path.  Regulations are there to curb the worst tendencies of human nature writ large.

Linked video is broken, requires signing in to view it.  😒

My thoughts exactly.  A captured cable is an instant disqualification when I'm considering products.

Would have been the perfect solution, if not for the fixed USB-C cable.
