Design flaw prevents the Raspberry Pi 4 from working with all USB-C cables

There was no click-bait in that heading. The heading was completely accurate this time.
No, it says with ALL. Even at 66yo, I can read the requirements...look again...ALL...ALL... I provided the CORRECT connection. As a development board....this thing rocks


Man after reading your banter back and forth I think that you really need to lay off some of the herbal or powdered based supplements that you are imbibing. The bottom line is that IT SHOULD WORK WITH ALL USB-C CABLES. You are incorrect as the verbiage for what you are attempting to convey would be "at all" rather than "all". You shouldn't have to pick or choose specifically which one you are going to plug the damned board into. Its a flaw because they didn't follow the standard and that is huge with something like the Raspberry Pi foundation as they pride themselves on being standards compliant. Actually one of the engineers who worked on the usb-c spec made a quite angry statement about the raspberry pi 4's power implementation. lol. The bottom line is they cheaped out and did not implement a full true usb-c power delivery (v1 or v2) circuit. They knew what they were doing. I would assume they did this to help drive sales of their official PSU sku and aren't telling the general public. "raw 5v over usb-c is good enough, Herp Derp"
 
I'm glad I haven't picked one up yet. You would have thought that this issue would have been noticed before production started. Manufacturers are so eager to get their products out the door these days it was only a matter of time before The Raspberry Pi Foundation did the same. It looks like I'll be waiting for the next revision.
just like games, you never pre-order. you let others do this simple yet preventable mistake and laugh at them cause you didn't buy one first. Now you decide if you buy one or not.
 
You are giving the word all a specific definition when it is not. The device would have to work with every cable in order to work with all cables. You are looking at this from the wrong perspective. I bet phrases like exclusive or and exclusive nor would blow your mind.
"Design flaw prevents the Raspberry Pi 4 from working with all USB-C cables"
The device not work with ANY cable if this title were true and thus nobody could power it on to use it.

Yes it should work with ALL cables but it does work with SOME cables. The title, " clearly states it doesn't work with ANY cable.

is not equal to

Design flaw prevents the Raspberry Pi 4 from working with most/some USB-C cables

I haven't preordered a game in a very long time. Game devs are no more reliable then hardware manufacturers these days. I have bought in on one or two early access games though such as Space Engineers. I've gotten a lot of mileage from that game, 2953 hours and counting.
