Raspberry Pi 4 出來後有些災情 (畢竟又加了不少東西近去)，在 Hacker News 上看到的 Type C 介面的充電問題：「Raspberry Pi 4 not working with some chargers (scorpia.co.uk)」，引用的原文可以在「Pi4 not working with some chargers (or why you need two cc resistors)」這邊看到，裡面提到了新的 Type C 供電介面在接某些充電器時不會供電 (包括了 Macbook 的充電器)：
The new pi has been released and it has a USB Type-C connector for power however people are finding some chargers are not working with it (notably macbook chargers). Some have speculated that this is due to a manufacturer limitation on the power supplies however it is actually due to the incorrect detection circuitry on the Pi end of the USB connection.
這樣說有點偏頗，但是 Macbook 的充電器一向是 Type C 裡的指標，如果這顆充電器跟其他裝置配合上有問題，通常都是代表其他裝置的實作有問題... (噗)
這次發現的電阻問題看起來有點苦 (看起來需要改版子)，目前文章作者建議的 workaround 主要就是「不要用那麼好的設備」，比較簡單的包括了 Type C 的線不要那麼好 (像是找充手機用的線就好，不要找拿可以跑 5A 的線)，或是透過 Type A 轉 Type C 的線也應該可以避開這個問題，最差的情況應該是找其他的充電器：
Now onto some solutions. Assuming the issue you are having is caused by the problem discussed above, using a non e-marked cable (most USB-C phone charger cables are likely this type) rather than an e-marked cable (many laptop charger/thunderbolt cables and any 5A capable cable will be in this category) will allow for the pi to be powered. In addition using older chargers with A-C cables or micro B to C adaptors will also work if they provide enough power as these don’t require CC detection to provide power. Ultimately though the best solution in the long run will be for there to be a board revision for the pi 4 which adds the 2nd CC resistor and fixes the problem.
對於已經入手的人，如果真的中獎，workaround cost 應該還在可以控制的範圍...
