Is there any risk in plugging the PinePhone into a powered Thunderbolt dock?
#1
I have a Dell TB16 dock at work and thought of a use case for it with my Pinephone, but since the Thunderbolt connection is normally used for powering a laptop and replacing a 130W, 19.5V power supply, I'm hesitant to plug it into my phone. This means the phone would have to negotiate the dock down to a supported voltage (if the dock hardware allows it) or reject charging at all.

Is there any realistic chance that this would damage the phone, or should it be fine?
