Can we talk about charging stations at cafes after my visit to Bean Cafe in Austin?

I sat down at a busy Austin coffee shop yesterday and noticed half the USB ports were loose or dead, which got me thinking about device security risks in public spots. Is it safer to carry your own power bank or risk the sketchy public outlets with a data blocker?

Carry a power bank. Those public USB ports are basically invitation cards for hackers to grab your data, and a data blocker only helps if you remember to use it every single time.

Half those ports ever work right anyway - you actually seen someone get hacked from one?
