What kind of sicko would ever want to go back to micro USB??? 🤢

[–] FireRetardant 37 points 4 months ago (5 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 86 points 4 months ago (5 children)

The question wasn't who still uses them, the question was who wants to go back.

Well in this scenario it's a genie granting a wish, so why not just wish for everything to be changed to USB-C?

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.

Im also finding this with USB-C unfortunately

[–] [email protected] 35 points 4 months ago

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 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

You cannot make a statement like this and not drop a link or a brand name my guy

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Monoprice is my go-to for cables. Has been for years.

I'm sure the USB forum is finding ways to identify cable capabilities easy. /s

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!

I recently went through my collection of Micro USB cables because I couldn't fit them into the drawer anymore. About 80% wouldn't even receive any data at all.

What kind of sadistic shit bag would actually want those defective easily broken pieces of trash back???

[–] [email protected] 42 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I want full size USB-B on all phones. Fight me

[–] Landless2029 21 points 4 months ago (6 children)

Thicker Phone with a longer battery and durable. Sign me up.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Reject USB, return to DB-25

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 months ago

Just give me an AGP slot on my phone. Hell, toss in a SCSI while you’re at it.

I hate when I get something that still has a micro or even worse a mini 🤮

[–] Dkarma 28 points 4 months ago (8 children)

At least mini is robust. Micro had that tiny tab that always got damaged after a year or less cuz you inevitably tried to plug that mf in backwards

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, mini is the best! It is robust and has a ahape that makes it easy to figure out which way to plug it. I love it when i fet a device with a mini

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

has a ahape that makes it easy to figure out

May I introduce you to USB C then where it doesn't fucking matter how you plug it? I definitely prefer mini over the micro abomination but it's not "the best".

Me with my mini-usb devices rolling over in our grave

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago

Mini at least didn't have a tendency to just break for no reason

[–] davidagain 31 points 4 months ago (1 children)

"I want micro USB back" already breaks all three original rules at once.

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

I liked microusb. I don't know what everyone is doing with their connectors, but I never had any contact issues.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago (6 children)

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

C is better than any other type of USB in literally every way possible. There's not even an argument to be made. Go on, I'll wait.

I love that it’s just “no falling in love” and not “no making people fall in love”
