Dude, that is shitty. What is it about 3rd party docks/dongles that is so bad? Surges from poor connection or something?

I'm not sure what the real issue is. The stories I read seemed to tie it to 3rd party docks being used with a third party USB-C power supply. I was hoping I'd be fine using the original power supply. Apparently not. You'd think this shit would be simple. USB-C connection to the switch, USB-C connection from the power supply, HDMI connection to a TV, and a USB A jack to run something else off of (I wasn't using that). Only reason I went 3rd party is because it's a nice compact dongle instead of the relatively large dock that comes with the switch.

To entertain myself I guess I could tear the dongle apart and see what I can find with the ol multimeter. Or I can just spend more time/money on beer. I think I know which is more likely

Yeah I've been there and it's alright when you're not fighting through drunk college kids on Friday night to get some.
