 I've always read that I should avoid public a public USB charging outlets because you might be vulnerable to them Slurping up your data rather than just transferring power. What do you guys think of this? See that was an easy question to ask. I don't know why it took me two minutes to do it You know, I don't worry about this John and the reason is that I think maybe I'm wrong that Apple protects us because every time I plug my phone into a You know like any Data capable port like on my computer anytime I plug my phone into my computer the phone asks do you want to trust this USB connection and That doesn't happen when I plug into a charging only USB Device it only happens when I plug in to a device that that wants to pass data across the USB connection And so to me, that's the litmus test even like I don't even have to answer the question to know that something fishy is going on and so That's why I don't worry about it. I just plug in and I'm good to go I mean honestly the thing I worry about more is what happened to you when you had that bogus charger in your car That was frying your devices Like that I worry about with public USB ports like how much power is coming through this is it should I trust it? You know if I could get like a USB surge protector that might I might be more tempted to use that on public ports than something that would like There are those devices right that block like data connections or whatever and turn them into charging only things but I don't know that that would save you from a You know the faulty electronics in it So no, I don't worry about it. Do you worry about the the data sniffers on public USB ports John? No, maybe I should but yeah as you pointed out so if you do a search here and I just did it here US search for USB a data blocker Okay, and actually the first thing came up is something from a company called porta-pow okay, and For two of them. It's eight bucks. So basically what it's doing is it's eliminating the data lines So it will never get to your okay device. I mean, that's what they're doing. I mean you could do it yourself I wouldn't recommend it unless you're good with the soldering iron and clippers, but That's the intent of these right and yeah, there's there's plenty of them And actually the the one I see here. It says protect protect against juice jacking I guess it's another term for all right. Okay, people try that but um Yeah, I mean that if you're worried about it, then then I would think that's That's the way to go about it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I Don't for the reasons I mentioned. I just don't worry about it. I feel like the phone's gonna tell me And maybe I'm being foolish let us know if I'm being foolish feedback of Mackie come
