    I’ve never had a USB C plug fall out in my entire life, but I have distinct memories of wrapping a micro USB cord around the phone so the plug would maybe make some sort of connection and charge. Same with whatever plug the Nintendo DS used.

    Do you have shit devices or shit cords? Because one of the two is causing the problem.

      Just NOW swapped a failed micro cord, charging only. Never had USB-C fail me. Not that it can’t, but it’s always been far more reliable.

        I’ve never had a USB C connection be why the cord failed, they all die because the cord is frayed or whatever. Micro USB is hot trash. If it doesn’t need to be removed, glue the fucker in its the only way it’ll last. At work for the EFTPOS machine we have a shield on one that locks the cord in, stopped us going through a micro cord every 2 months.

      My NDS plug (and 3DS plug) stays in so firmly I’ve had to tug on it. Are we living in Bizarro-land from each other?

        I think we must be. 3DS (xl) did ok, but dsi (xl) and original ds (thin) were atrocious for cords. They never 100% truly died but they didn’t really want to work either without some extreme sideways tension
