      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?

        I’m really grateful that most cheap shit physical stores in my area uses USB C these days. Even most stuff on Amazon and in $2 shops is mostly USB C from what I’ve seen.

        The only 2 devices I have that still use micro USB is a small desk vacuum, and my raspberry pi zero W. But I only have a single micro USB cable so I just have an adaptor for my vacuum

    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.

        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.

      • TexasDrunk@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I used to keep every cable that came with any electronics. USB-C convinced me to throw away any cable I didn’t specifically buy. Even my charging cables are USB4 240w 40gbps because I got so tired of guessing which cable did what. I don’t even need those specs but I’ll never have to wonder which cable to use.

      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 juat bricked itself by desperately using every single ounce of juice, so it cpuld no longer tell the charger that it wanted to charge.

      Solved by buying a dumber charger!

        My old kindle was a nightmare for this reason. Plus the socket got funky with age on top of that, and eventually there was really like 1 special cable that would work and it always seemed to end up hidden under 50000 things.

        Still, that does speak to the battery life of the kindle.

        If battery technology werenʼt still stuck in the Vietnam War era, 2-second rapid charging would require something like a thick boi USB-B cable to satisfy everyoneʼs desire to also use their phone as a tazer/hand grenade/flying drone/cardiac defibrillator/space heater.

      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.

      source
      • buddascrayon@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        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.

        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.

        I don’t think I ever managed to break it by plugging it in backwards, but they indeed brake constantly. Mine would always bend since they were so bloody thin. The only micro usb cable that didn’t break is the one going to my PC tablet, which I barely move, every other one got bumped around enough, other in my backpack or just charging in bed/on the couch, to eventually break the contacts within a year or 2, 3 max.

        I once got an adapter as a kid to plug in a controller, was super exited until I dropped it and stepped on it by accident with my naked squishy child feet, probably the fastest I ever broke one of these. Like what the actual fuck? Micros sucks so much!

      • BubbleMonkey@slrpnk.net ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        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…

      Every phone I’ve ever replaced was replaced because the micro USB broke. Now with how fast charging is I don’t even use my phone while it’s charging, but I still don’t expect the USB-C to be the part that gives out first.

      source
      • Norodix@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I think the real solution is repairable gadgets. A microusb port costs pennies and if the phones were repairable at all, it would be a 5 minute solder job. The same is true for USB C as well. It might be more durable, but it can still break and it feels so stupid to replace a decive because a single cheap part broke.

      I’m not sure about this, but maybe micro allows for slightly thinner devices?

      I wouldn’t call that an argument though, because it doesn’t even approach mattering as much as USB-c’s other benefits. Hell Apple made their thinnest ever device (the new 5.x mm thick iPads) with it, including Thunderbolt support.

      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).
