    Anybody else think USB-C connector is even worse? Seems so flimsy…

      I specifically do not like USBC because it’s flimsy as fuck. Every device I’ve had that used USB-C so far has had the PCB inside the port break off after a few years because it wiggles around too much. MicroUSB would eventually get super loose and not really stay in, but it never fully broke anything off inside the damn port.

        I was just saying the other day to one of my friends that I have never had a USB-C port fail on me in anyway.

        Two sides of a coin I guess.

        I don’t like USB-C because different cables have different functions and there is no standard to let you know what is what, so you just have to hope you don’t get them confused. A color code or something would have worked.

        I had too many micro USB slots die on me. That also killed my beloved Nokia N900.

        We never should have ventured beyond mini USB.

          Basically everything I have is type C now because I only want one kind of cord to worry about, but mini USB will always have my heart
