Most of these devices are a fire hazard. And in an environment where kids are needing magsafe, is probably the most dangerous for fire safety. *edit https://www.reddit.com/r/UsbCHardware/comments/motlhn/magnet... | ||||||||

So true. Regarding those magnetic USB connectors: not just a fire hazard but also a tendency to eventually burn out whatever is on the other end of them IME. Maybe ok for giving power if you are careful I think, I never had any fires, knock on wood. But it's a bummer to zap/kill the data-functionality of USB ports on nice stuff just because a non-spec connector was used in between the two things being connected, for convenience. So I don't trust them except for conveniently connecting power to low-cost devices. Whether Neo fits that... I doubt but YMMV. | ||||||||

oh, probably not enough contact pressure. resistance is inversely proportional to contact pressure after all. | ||||||||
