It was always terrible

How to make the transition relatively painlessly:

Buy a bunch of these, and tie one to the end of every USB C cable, now you only need USB C cables around.

As you get more C-C cables, buy these for your existing USB A ports:

You guys have Micro!?

I'm still running stuff with Mini...

Are you talking about the Micro-A plugs and receptacles, Micro-AB receptacles (which accept both Micro-A and Micro-B plugs), Double-Sided Micro USB, Micro-B plugs and receptacles, or 3.0 Micro-B SuperSpeed plugs and receptacles?

I was recently shopping for a Bluetooth speaker for the shower. At some point I realized that one of them used micro USB for power. Confused, I went back and looked at the others. More than half still used micro. Just... no.

And it still is terrible. I went in a recent road trip and at one point didn’t have a charger. It’s a newer iPhone and people don’t know what usb-c is, so I tried asking for an Android charger but got this crap instead

yea. great. now we have a plug that looks the same but has a million different kinds of standards. hooray

I would gladly take microusb over those magnetic pogo pins that they put on smartwatches and tablet keyboards, though.

Microusb has one feature over USBC. You can pull power from the pins without needing to solder a tiny 5kohm resistor to cc1 to tell the cable you want 5 volts.

USB-C MOD ALL THE THINGS!

thank god I don't. everything I buy I make sure its USBC now

This is my life rn. I beg for universal USB C.

I have never upvoted something so hard.

I’m looking at you, RaspberryPi Pico2…

Fuck those things man

I went through probably 8 micro USB cables on my previous 2 phones over like a 6 year period. Since I got my current phone in 2016 I'm on my second USB c cable.

May I have the meme format? 😄

USB-A dude. There’s still things that ambush me with a USB-A and I immediately return it. Micro-USB too but nothing as foul as USB-A.

At least you knew which way it went in.

i dunno, i kind of want to hunt down every mini usb in existence and send them to the hydraulic smasher guys

It's fucking hilarious to me that the USB consortium ever allowed Universal Serial Bus cables to be made without the serial part (data transfer)

USB-C anything requires a minimum of 2.0 which is how Micro should have always been.

You reminded me to fit some tape in my phone's MicroUSB port, so the cable actually sits in somewhat properly. edit: I fucked it up, but it's still better.

USB C is better, yes, but I've never had a Micro USB fail at the connector.

The only time i was okay with micro USBs are on Oppo phones, which developed a Super VooC charging protocol on micro-usbs that was so crazy fast that plugging in the micro-usb correctly was worth it.

oppos currently at 90w charging speed, having moved onto usb-c

They've been ahead of the curve with charging for years now.

‘MRW’ <- What’s that stand for?

Edit: this has been handled appropriately in the thread…

Hate with a passion

I've used more usb gadgets than most people, as I deal with electronics a lot, but I never had a single problem with micro usb. Not sure why people hate it so much.
