Unfortunately this forum is in German but it's really funny:

https://www.mikrocontroller.net/topic/458093

Basically the OP is asking what kind of resistors he needs so that he can get 5V out of USB C.

The first response is "No, 5V is always present." (incorrect)

The second response by another poster is "5V is ALWAYS present at the USB port..."

Only the fourth person actually answers the question and does it in a single sentence: "There needs to be 5k1 between CC and GND."
