I wish USB-C was more robust, or at least had the option of being more robust. I miss not being scared of accidentally stepping on my laptop charge connector and crushing it flat. I'd pay good money for a type-C un-flattener.
- vanattab 4y agoYeah. Type c is worse then micro or mini in this regard but still no where as bad as type A. I can't tell you how many USB cables I have thrown away because office chairs have run over the ends.
- causi 4y agoThe only advantage with type A is that it's large enough you can use a set of flat pliers to straighten it out. Type-C is nearly impossible to do that with.
- danaris 4y agoIs there a halfway-modern port that is more robust? Hell, is it possible to make a port/adapter that you can't destroy by stepping on it? I've personally destroyed VGA, PS/2, and ADB adapters by stepping on them in the past. (I've since gotten somewhat more careful, and haven't yet destroyed any USB or Lightning adapters the same way.) How, exactly, do you propose that they design a port that you can't accidentally crush, aside from something dirt-simple like an 8mm headphone jack...?
- rbanffy 4y ago> is it possible to make a port/adapter that you can't destroy by stepping on it? UK power plugs want a word with you. Not that there won't be damage, but it's your foot that will be completely destroyed.
