Cho + etech USB cables... crap or what??

For whatever reason, even the name of the company is blocked as "URLHASBEENBLOCKED", though it's obviously not a URL. Anyway, the whole point is rendered moot if I can't mention the crappy company name.

Cho e 'plus' tech? cables working for anyone else that bought them?? I bought a 2 pack of white USB C cables from Newegg around a year ago from a slickdeal for a cheap (free?) after rebate offer to use as backups for my new USB C cellphone. I finally needed to use one yesterday because I misplaced the original. First cable from the pack seemed to work. I see my phone in windows explorer and USB transfer on my phone... BUT... when I try and open a folder and view or transfer photos, it keeps freezing up while just trying to read the directory. I thought it might be a fluke so I tried the 2nd cable. This one with the exact same computer port and phone doesn't connect at ALL! Might as well not be plugged in.

Weird thing is, I try again on an old laptop with Win10 installed, and it seems to work fine!?! (2nd cable still buggy on both.)
