Comment on When something still uses micro USB in 2025
Professorozone@lemmy.world 1 month agoI prefer the new standard too, but are you actually getting rid of perfectly functioning old stuff because of the connector?

No. I’m not, and I don’t think anyone in the comments that I’ve read are saying that either. Geesh!
Stuff ages out. Stuff breaks. Old stuff gets relegated to a drawer or re-purposed. All that (most?) people here are saying is that when you do buy something new, there’s an expectation that it use the current standard.

I would agree with that. I just don’t have the level of hate for the old standard that everyone else seems to have. But as it was pointed out, this IS mildly infuriating so I can see that. My biggest complaint with it is that it is very hard to see which way it goes since the taper is subtle, especially if it’s dark.
