Ordered a set of rechargeable AA batteries and charger. They’re well reviewed and a decent brand. Specifically wanted the charger since it has USB input rather than 120v so I could top the batteries off from my laptop / power bank as they’ll be used for my wireless KB/mouse. The product description only said “USB input” and didn’t specify what flavor. Being 2025, you expect USB-C.
Received them today, and they use micro USB input. Now I have to keep yet another cable in my bag. Day mildly ruined.
Sounds like a real first world problem.
Yeah, well, we are in mildly infuriating, I don’t expect to find big issues here… No one will come here to say “I can’t afford a house/food” or “I lost my job and will loose my house! It is mildly infuriating”
Ok, that’s a good point. Probably the best one so far.
I guess my point was just that I’ve seen this hate in more than one place.
It’s not a first world problem It’s a capitalism problem. They probably bought a shit load of micro usb ports for dirt cheap to save money cause nobody wants to buy them for their products in 2025.
