Aliexpress having a summer sale, I might as well grab a couple cables to replace my bedside one and one that'll live in my bag.

I can recommend getting a Treedix USB tester - it will show you if your cables are up to spec.

Good shout. Which one do you recommend? I assume the simple ones with just LED indicator should be fine, but I see they have a fancy display one for $50.

This is the one I got - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2025/06/gadget-review-treedix-usb-cable-tester/
The LED ones are OK. They'll tell you continuity. But you won't get speed or PD information from them.

You didn’t get whacked with tariff upcharges on shipping when you got to your cart?

Although my country did implement VAT like tax a year or two ago on low value items 😮💨🫠
