    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.

            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

      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’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
