There is no such thing as a compliant USB A to USB C adapter and some combination may fry your device.

Your article says USB A male to USB C female is noncompliant.

It doesnt say USB A female to USB C male is noncompliant. These are reasonably common and I had one included with both my current laptop and my current smartphone, for example.

    Yes, I meant female A to male C. These are compliant and even have specific resistor coding so that dual-role USB-C devices know what they have to do, since USB-A ports are directional.
