every single time someone says "USB-C is the worst connector ever" this is the first thing I immediately think of
sure, USB-C is not perfect, but every time someone claims that it is "The worst" I wonder if it's just nostalgia or if they genuinely were lucky enough to never have had to transfer data or charge a phone in the early 00s

I just throw one charger into my backpack and power my laptop, my phone, my partner's laptop and their nintendo switch

isn't that fuckin Neat

most people do not actually hate USB-C. foss georg who has 425 USB-C hate alt accounts is an outlier and should not be counted
@AgathaSorceress The reason I usually hear for the USB-C hate is that it's a (comparatively) physically-fragile socket. Like, for the amount of stress you can expect the port to handle, the mount-points are under-engineered from most suppliers. (At least they were early on; it does seem like they've gotten better lately.)
@cha0sys @AgathaSorceress my perception is that it is much more designed for strength than anything of comparable size. In practice, you will get bad versions too, but that's one thing definitely not among my multiple gripes with this dubious standard
