Despite its many flaws, Google's Pixel 4 is still a well-rounded device. But, it appears that the Pixel series, in general, are doomed to fail. Over the years we've seen the series get plagued with all kinds of bugs.

Android Authority stumbled upon what could be the latest Pixel 4 bug. Apparently, the device doesn't play nice with a lot of third-party USB cables. USB-C to USB-C cables seem to work fine; USB-C to USB-A cables are the problematic ones.
