I hate when I get something that still has a micro or even worse a mini 🤮

"I want micro USB back" already breaks all three original rules at once.

I think you mean mini USB, you sadistic fuck

[–] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

That doesn't exist, Micro USB is always type B, only full size is A

[–] rockman057@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Micro USB A does exist, although I assume it is very uncommon.

Full size micro plug. Hrhr.

I love that it’s just “no falling in love” and not “no making people fall in love”

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 77 points 9 months ago (2 children)

What kind of sadistic shit bag would actually want those defective easily broken pieces of trash back???

[–] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee -2 points 9 months ago (6 children)

I've had 400% more failures of USB C than of micro. Keep in mind I've only had C for a couple years, and micro for 14 across numerous devices.

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 31 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

That's got to be something you're doing. Cause I've had exactly zero problems. In fact I don't think I've actually met a person who's ever had a problem with USB - C. But I have boxes (plural) of dead micro USB cables and, on top of that, I have so many devices that have been rendered useless by the fact that the micro USB port has been blown or damaged in some way it's not even funny.

Edit, these are not all mine. They are from multiple people.

[–] SirSnufflelump@lemmy.ca 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm with you. Those spring-latch-things on the micro just give up on life and the whole thing becomes useless or tears apart the port you try to plug them into. I say leave them in the past

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Yeah, I love the counter argument of "oh, the USB - C gets dirt in it". As though that hasn't been an issue with every port ever conceived. 😒

Me too, first two phones I had with USB C both developed issues with the port, one shorted in the port, the other for some reason could only be charged with one specific cable, oriented in only one direction. Never had any issues with the ports on any previous USB micro phones.

The current one works alright though, and its capable of detecting water and dirt in the port, so probably won't short itself. So I think the technology is improving.

[–] lone_faerie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 9 months ago

In my experience, that's what tends to happen with a dirty port/cable. Cleaning it out solves the problem 99% of the time.

[–] ruckblack@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 months ago

My anecdotal experience is the complete opposite of you two lol. Tons of issues with micro-b and a few broken connectors. No issues thus far with C.

[–] meekah@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Failures of ports or cables?

[–] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 23 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I don't know what you're doing because I've had 0 failures with it

[–] shottymcb@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Type-C ports are a lot more sensitive to dirt in my experience. I can keep it working if I clean the port every couple weeks, but at this point I just pretend phones don't have charging ports.

I want full size USB-B on all phones. Fight me

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago (6 children)

Thicker Phone with a longer battery and durable. Sign me up.

[–] lauha@lemmy.one 2 points 9 months ago

There are a ton of those in the market already

[–] vithigar@lemmy.ca 12 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

Nope. It's aaaaaall camera bump.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Your phone is now a cylinder behind the camera.

Reject USB, return to DB-25

[–] otacon239@feddit.de 17 points 9 months ago

Just give me an AGP slot on my phone. Hell, toss in a SCSI while you’re at it.
