What I want is to be able to retrofit usb-c onto my older stuff.
I was kinda annoyed at having to switch, but it really is better in every way

Nah, what about if we just use a even mix of all usb types and then ensure that half of all cables sold don't have data pins?

Most micro USB cables that came bundled with phones or gadgets were built so cheaply that they don't even have data pins. They're a pain to sort out whenever I want to program a board.
They are useful for dummies like me though! When I let my phone run out of battery while installing an update, I thought it was the end for it. But it turned out that it had just bricked itself by desperately using every single ounce of juice, so it could no longer tell the charger that it wanted to charge.
Solved by buying a dumber charger!
Im also finding this with USB-C unfortunately
The one good thing about Google's Social media experiment was that guy who reviewed USBC cables to see if they actually adhered to the standards.
It's shocking how many didn't have the proper resistors or components to properly handle data and charging.
I'm sure the USB forum is finding ways to identify cable capabilities easy. /s

Looks left.
Looks rights.
Reads the rules, very carefully, again.
“I wish for infinite additional wishes which are exempt of any and all restrictions ”
Since when cant i wish for death? Thats to easy to get around.
I wish for a giant piano to spawn 20m above Putins head when he is outside.
Really isn't difficult to circumvent.
wait i always thought the rule in this meme was not wishing for your own death

Me with my mini-usb devices rolling over in our grave
Mini at least didn't have a tendency to just break for no reason
USB B is still the best
The micro USB most of us know already is a USB-B. Each cable before USB-C had USB-A on one side and USB-B on the other. The square-like one used for printers is a full-sized USB-B, as opposed to the one used in phones (micro USB-B).
I'm pretty sure there's also a micro USB-A that just never got adopted.
Yes, that's what I meant by "the micro USB most of us know". I don't think I've ever seen the A variant of micro USB.
I have! It's apparently pretty common on e-bikes.
Isn't that the PS3 controller cable? It's such a funky lil micro variant I'm so scared to lose my cable lol

I'm so conflicted. It's way too chunky, but I've never had one fail and it's durable as shit. Damn.
There's a USB 3 B. I just encountered it, and that bitch somehow got chunkier.
Micro version too:
TIL my external hard drives use micro 3b. I didn’t realize that was a standard.. figured it was a proprietary to prevent using the wrong cable..
Samsung phones used this for a couple years, I think around the S5 days?

I liked microusb. I don't know what everyone is doing with their connectors, but I never had any contact issues.
All I know is no matter how careful I was, it would end up not connecting unless it was held at exactly the right angle. I've yet to have a single USB-C connector have the issue
I’ve had it with shoddy c ports on various devices, including a phone (thankfully had wireless charging also). The connection pin thingy breaks off pretty easily, and causes the same issue you described for several weeks/months ahead of the actual breakoff, where it has to be in exactly the right position (and wiggling it to hit the right position obviously exacerbates the problem).
I’ve actually bought some magnetic chargers for the more fragile electronics, so I never have to put strain on the port..

I want my 16 pin serial port on my phone!
might as well go for HPIB or MIDI
Bring back D-Sub.
bring back micro dvi (the one on the first macbook air).
The only annoyances I had were general keyed connector issues, but usually you're able to look at the port, it's usb a that tended to be plugged in blind, usb c can be annoying to plug in blind because if its size, just less overall annoying that og usb
I would like to know what I'm doing with the connectors too, dammit.
I don't blame any connector, all of them end up the same for me. Externally in good condition but the conductivity the poorest.

What kind of sicko would ever want to go back to micro USB??? 🤢
Most of my flashlights and rechargeable decives are micro USB still. C is superior but I'm not throwing away good electronics over a charging cable.
Well in this scenario it's a genie granting a wish, so why not just wish for everything to be changed to USB-C?
The question wasn't who still uses them, the question was who wants to go back.
