<< used a USBC to USB C cable from my 2021 MacBook pro >>


the only USB-C cable "shipped in the box" with a MacBook Pro is a CHARGE-ONLY cable. it has no data leads except for a keyboard, and can not possibly run a display at all.


If I were King, I would paint all these Charge-ONLY USB-C cables bright orange.
