    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.

        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.

          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.

          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!

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

      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

      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
