    It’s insane that they’re still trying to blame user error for this basic issue. The design shouldn’t allow double the rated amperage to go through a single wire/pin without causing the whole thing to shutdown.

    I’ve said this when the original spec was released, it’s a bad design and a bad spec. 600W of total power on tiny, fragile, endpoints is not a good idea.

      That’s what annoys me.

      I do like the idea of getting rid of the double 8 pin connector, but the new one could have had 30%< 50% more area, been way more secure, and STILL more compact than the old one
