Doesn't power up on PD chargers / USB-C ports on Macbooks

[ulope]

It's really annoying that the knomi doesn't properly implement USB-C.

It can't be powered by either PD compliant USB-C chargers (which pretty much all new ones are nowadays), nor when plugged into a Macbook with a straight USB-C <-> USB-C cable...

I have also found using a usba ->usbc cable works fine.

I'm aware that there are workarounds.

It doesn't change the fact that it's not easily usable with compliant supplies that will become pretty much the default going forward.
