The whole space is so scammy that I'd pay for a good USB-C cable tester

But how can we know which tester is good and which one is scammy?

  • I like your "who watches the watchers" reference, but AI's reviewing AI work, and notably, people reviewing people work, are subject to the same problem!

    The same principles that worked for auditors tracking risk compliance in the 2000's now work for humans tracking AI-output risk compliance in 2026

A consumer grade tester test only the continuity and read the chip.

To actually test for the bandwidth those are hell expensive.

Now people starting test for the chip, those scammers will install more fake chip ...
