“Make all new devices use micro-HDMI”
I will punch your dad in the cock
My biological father is actually mtf trans funnily enough so good luck with that
something is down there and imma punch it.
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
there are tiny adapters you can buy that may work depending on the device
The worst cables I’ve had to deal with have been the mini versions of perfectly functional cables. Mini hdmi gets stuck, micro usb snaps off and almost fits backwards enough to break it, etc
Fucking gross. Might as well ask for mini while you’re at it.

Maybe he has a ton of unused wires…
USB B is still the best
I’m so conflicted. It’s way too chunky, but I’ve never had one fail and it’s durable as shit. Damn.
I doesn’t break cause it’s too chonky to be broken.
There’s a USB 3 B. I just encountered it, and that bitch somehow got chunkier.
Micro version too:
TIL my external hard drives use micro 3b. I didn’t realize that was a standard… figured it was a proprietary to prevent using the wrong cable…
You can use an old micro usb cable in the small hole and it will likely work, only at USB 2.0 speed.
Samsung phones used this for a couple years, I think around the S5 days?
Yes, the Galaxy S5 was the only Samsung flagship using the micro USB 3.0 port. They backpedaled to micro USB 2.0 in S6 and S7, and then migrated to USB-C in S8. I’m not sure about the Note series.
🤮 Those are sooo awful
But the devices are compatible with old micro usb cables at USB 2.0 speed and power.
The micro USB most of us know already is a USB-B. Each cable before USB-C had USB-A on one side and USB-B on the other. The square-like one used for printers is a full-sized USB-B, as opposed to the one used in phones (micro USB-B).
I’m pretty sure there’s also a micro USB-A that just never got adopted.
Yes, that’s what I meant by “the micro USB most of us know”. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the A variant of micro USB.
Isn’t that the PS3 controller cable? It’s such a funky lil micro variant I’m so scared to lose my cable lol
Unlikely, the A plugs are for the host devices while the B plugs are for peripherals. It got blurred with smartphones (see: USB-OTG) but in general the host devices were big enough to have full-sized USB ports, so the smaller USB-Bs are extremely rare.
I have! It’s apparently pretty common on e-bikes.
I love that it’s just “no falling in love” and not “no making people fall in love”
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.
My argument:
You have a point.
I’m not sure about this, but maybe micro allows for slightly thinner devices?
I wouldn’t call that an argument though, because it doesn’t even approach mattering as much as USB-c’s other benefits. Hell Apple made their thinnest ever device (the new 5.x mm thick iPads) with it, including Thunderbolt support.
I liked microusb. I don’t know what everyone is doing with their connectors, but I never had any contact issues.
I would like to know what I’m doing with the connectors too, dammit.
I don’t blame any connector, all of them end up the same for me. Externally in good condition but the conductivity the poorest.
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
I’ve got a USB C that requires me to have it plugged in one specific direction or no charging
Oof that sounds annoying
It absolutely is…what’s worse is the cable has been rock solid for years
I’ve had it with shoddy c ports on various devices, including a phone (thankfully had wireless charging also). The connection pin thingy breaks off pretty easily, and causes the same issue you described for several weeks/months ahead of the actual breakoff, where it has to be in exactly the right position (and wiggling it to hit the right position obviously exacerbates the problem).
I’ve actually bought some magnetic chargers for the more fragile electronics, so I never have to put strain on the port…
We must be buying different USB-C cables, then. I’ve been using anker ones for years and havent had a single break like that, and I’m definitely not gentle with mine.
Oh, yeah no it’s not the cable, it’s the receiving port on the device itself. Sorry for the confusion :)
The only annoyances I had were general keyed connector issues, but usually you’re able to look at the port, it’s usb a that tended to be plugged in blind, usb c can be annoying to plug in blind because if its size, just less overall annoying that og usb
I want my 16 pin serial port on my phone!
might as well go for HPIB or MIDI
Bring back D-Sub.
bring back micro dvi (the one on the first macbook air).
Every phone I’ve ever replaced was replaced because the micro USB broke. Now with how fast charging is I don’t even use my phone while it’s charging, but I still don’t expect the USB-C to be the part that gives out first.
I think the real solution is repairable gadgets. A microusb port costs pennies and if the phones were repairable at all, it would be a 5 minute solder job. The same is true for USB C as well. It might be more durable, but it can still break and it feels so stupid to replace a decive because a single cheap part broke.
Nah, what about if we just use a even mix of all usb types and then ensure that half of all cables sold don’t have data pins?
Ok, calm down Satan.
Looks left.
Looks rights.
Reads the rules, very carefully, again.

Since when cant i wish for death? Thats to easy to get around.
I wish for a giant piano to spawn 20m above Putins head when he is outside.
Really isn’t difficult to circumvent.
wait i always thought the rule in this meme was not wishing for your own death

Micro USB type A.
That doesn’t exist, Micro USB is always type B, only full size is A
Full size micro plug. Hrhr.
Micro USB A does exist, although I assume it is very uncommon.
What?.
I have never seen that in my life, I looked it up and it still didn’t pop-up lol. Thanks for the info!
Huh til thx
I think you mean mini USB, you sadistic fuck
What kind of sicko would ever want to go back to micro USB??? 🤢
Mini usb is where it’s at!
Early 2000s nerdcore tech lovers unite! Get out your 640x480 digital camera and cf cards!
Cf cards are still used. In fact they’re much better than sd cards.
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.
I was just thinking that the only device that’s still micro USB is my Kindle, but remembered that I also have a PS4 controller

Works fine
I’m really grateful that most cheap shit physical stores in my area uses USB C these days. Even most stuff on Amazon and in $2 shops is mostly USB C from what I’ve seen.
The only 2 devices I have that still use micro USB is a small desk vacuum, and my raspberry pi zero W. But I only have a single micro USB cable so I just have an adaptor for my vacuum
Well in this scenario it’s a genie granting a wish, so why not just wish for everything to be changed to USB-C?
The question wasn’t who still uses them, the question was who wants to go back.
In some senses i would go back. Then i could just keep using 1 wire. Things were great when everything had the same cable for me. Now ive got a mix of micro and C.
I do a lot backpacking and every gram really counts when you carry it all day.
idonno, back in the day there was mini-usb and micro-usb. it’s not like we had just one cable, and then it was often with some weird cable only that gadget could use
And dozens of proprietary connectors!
You can get USB-C to micro USB adapters for like 7 bucks
I still keep a micro USB to USB-C adapter on my keys. I’ve been thinking of getting one that’s reverse too.
