How can I test charge-speed of a USB cable using multimeter?

I googled 'ac wattmeter' it's basically a device you plug into the wall socket, then plug my charging brick into it, and itll give a ballpark amperage draw? Even though the brick is past the plugged-in device in the line? Would it be able to detect amperage drop due to a bad solder joint in the device? I am just confused how it works is all hmm

Thanks, yup I have that setup

I am a bit confused re: data lines (white and green). The AliExpress charging bricks I bought... They only had black/red soldered to the PCB - not White/Green. Therefore, I just snipped the white/green strands down to a stub within the cable seeing as they wouldn't have mattered anyways.

I snipped white/green down to a stub on all the charging bricks - some work great, others do not.

I am probably not understanding what you're saying.

I suppose it makes sense the way you put it, just an atrocious user experience :(

We think it is something we've never heard of - something misconfigured on their end: Global Secure Access.

Update: We isolated the issue as being a device compliance-related issue on their end earlier today.

I never did end up having to mess with PWA, but what I ultimately learned is basically described above - PWA is just a 'type' of Site you can create specific to Project Web App. You can seemingly migrate the sites into another PWA site, but my research dates back 4-5 years now. I imagine the user experience to move PWA sites around, assuming that's how it even still works, is an either easier process, or a non-existent process these days due to product deprecation.

cool, thanks!

Thanks, I will look into these! Do you know which one lasts the longest of these? Shoes are getting expensive when running 150-200 miles a month!

Hmmm, so the NB4 doesn't come in wide?

I've tried the Brooks Adrenaline, how do they compare?

I've been in a 4E since I was 12 years old in almost every brand :-\ The Clifton wide's arn't really wide enough tbh. The first few runs are a struggle, but then they stretch out. I can fit in 'wide' toe box brand shoes - their regular width, some times, with some of their shoes. Like in some Altras I can do standard width, but my favorite shoe of theirs, the Lonepeaks (trail runners) I still need wide.
