But.... That image isn't micro USB?

So traumatised they couldn't even bear to look at that fragile little connector, so sad and obsolete next to USB-Chad who's stronger and more widely accepted

Looks like it's fixed on the article, must've cached the thumbnail on Lemmy at post time.

Shouldn't have ever been a mini connector though.

It’s an interesting article, but the title makes me think that if micro-USB ports are the banes of the author’s existence, she needs more banes in her life.

I've had 4x more USB C failures than micro (1 micro failure since 2009 and 4 C failures) and I've used micro for longer and across more devices, probably 10x more usage.

Sorry, C isn't nearly as robust. And it's supposed non-polar isn't true, I still have some cables that won't charge until they're flipped over. I have to verify a device is charging.
