I just learned that I can charge my M1 MBP via USBC instead of the magsafe port

I recently bought an open box M3 MBP and it comes with a braided USB-C to MagSafe cord. I am hoping that stands up better than the plastic sheathing on previous Apple power cables. At least it plugs into an USB-C port on the power adapter, so that will make it easier to replace than the original MagSafe power adapters for past Intel MBPs.
