This Baseus USB-C cable has a real-time watt readout and now we can never go back

I went back. These cables are too stiff and I worry about the additional stress placed on the port.  I like the silicone wrapped cables made by Anker but unfortunately they are pricey and they don't support higher data rates.

Next up: Data transfer rates, emojis based on what is being transferred, and eventually: the entire cable will be an OLED display where you can watch Netflix on a 5cm strip of flexible cable.
