Evil USB

Last year for computers has died on me. Or rather, the USB-C card has died, which for a computer that charges with usb-c is the same as being dead.

• Lenovo yoga 920 - an i8550u computer that I was really fond of!
• HP elitebook 850 g5 - work laptop
• Macbook air m1 - Will be repaired, but it seems as both motherboard and io board is broken.
• HP elitebook 840 g8? - work laptop

I can't really help to think that all these laptops can't be wrong. There's one common thing here and that's me. Why do I break usb-c? My guess so far is that I've a broken USB-C cable or charger here at home that kills them. So I'm replacing all my chargers and cables, that's going to be an expensive journey!

And I still miss my yoga 920 :(.

Does anyone had the same problem?
