<p>There is a saying: "Many problems have two solutions. One is
obvious, simple and ... wrong."</p>
<p>Apparently USB-C problem of putting analog circuit is a problem
of this kind. There is a solution with one resistor instead of two
(as article mentions) which incorrectness is not obvious
(especially with blinding "we saved one resistor!"). Nintendo guys
stepped into this. Raspberry guys stepped into this. And may be
even Apple guys did with some of their dongles, as commented in
Nintendo article

<p>Being on a weekend, I am simply amazed at complexities present in
this world, and that we, humans, are tackling them nevertheless.
Wow!<br>

<div>You need to watch what USB cables you use
with the Raspi 4, though. Apparently the RP4 is
having problems with smart cables: <a
