WORM MOTHERevery 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
I honestly feel like pretty much every problem people have with USB-C could easily be solved just by printing a small bit of text on the cable itself, yknow, like we already do with ethernet cables and audio cables and a ton of other things, but I feel like this is less of a problem with the connector itself and more just the tech corporations obsession with "sleek and simple"
#[deprecated] Qyriad@AgathaSorceress the bigger problem is the ports tbh. you often don't know exactly how a given USB-C port will behave and what it'll support until you try it. those needs labels more than the cables imo
Jubei@AgathaSorceress what problems do people have with usb-C?
Ali@jubei @AgathaSorceress There no guarantee that a given USB-C cable will work in a given context, because the standard... isn't exactly standard, and as of 2023, there's still no way to identify what a given cable is capable of.
This is a recent article on (some of) the issues with USB-C.
