What Hacker News says?
Pretty unfortunate design flaw, and hopefully it can be corrected, but this post is horribly finger-pointy and the tone generally stinks. Would hate to make a mistake while working around this guy Can the link be changed to the apparent source article? It's not as bad. https://www.scorpia.co.uk/2019/06/28/pi4-not-working-with-so...

HN discussionI remember them leaving out some resistors for the USB C port that were needed for some chargers or cables. Wasn't too big a deal if you just used their official power supplies. https://www.scorpia.co.uk/2019/06/28/pi4-not-working-with-so...
