yea. great. now we have a plug that looks the same but has a million different kinds of standards. hooray
Yeah like what do you mean I can’t use this cable to charge my VR headset? It’s usb c? Oh but that one is somehow more powerful and the other is weakling with no marking whatsoever? Fuck off
I have one tiny white super powerful usb c cable and all the other are weaklings. Some refuse to transfer files
If I take one of those unmarked losers on a trip just grabbing some random usb c cable I will have a bad time
Yeet all the weak ones in the garbage
Being unable to throw away old USB cords is my weakness.
I used to keep a long one in my car, and used it to walk my dog if I happened to forget his leash. Upcycling!
Electronics recycling.
And where to get new ones? I refuse to pay for a forking cable you know
Those things are basic human rights. The right to get usb cable for free. I have hundreds of them and if anything I want to exchange
Chargers same, if I see a charger on the street or anywhere I am looting that forking thing cause they don’t include these things anymore and put it into my drawer full of these things
There shall be one cable to rule them all. I am the lord of the cables.
It didn't have to be this way
I have one very nice USB C made from the softest silicon rubber. It feels premium, never kinks and it is tough like nylon rope. It has max specs for USB C for power delivery and data transfer and it cost me $30.
All the others are freebies that came with various devices and are all disposable compared to my "one true cord" which is the only one to enjoy being apart of my personal arsenal of accoutrements
nice. and nice username
