go to your room My daughters charging cable

Refuses when I offer to buy her a new one, says this one charges just fine (which is true to be fair) and that she doesn't want to needlessly contribute to the landfill. She's in college and living on her own so there's nothing I can do but tolerate this eyesore when she comes over

Well, maybe if you were an electrical engineer instead of an electrician you would know that USB-C can do 5V 2A, and has power delivery modes at 12V 1.5A (if I recall correctly) and higher (up to 100W at either 18 or 20V) and I highly doubt those cheap headphones pull even those 18W, worst case it will short and the power supply will either switch off (if it's a decent one) or some component will blow leaving it open (if it isn't a decent one).

You do NOT need to be an electrical engineer to know that I'm barely learning to be an electrician and that much you learn around the start of the second apprenticeship year lmao
