No. I’m not, and I don’t think anyone in the comments that I’ve read are saying that either. Geesh!

Stuff ages out. Stuff breaks. Old stuff gets relegated to a drawer or re-purposed. The older stuff doesn’t necessarily get thrown away, but it’s also not something I carry around daily, either.

All that (most?) people here are saying is that when you do buy something new, there’s an expectation that it use the current standard.

Yeah, that’s annoying for sure. I just bought a handful of cables of known specs that “do it all” and it’s been pretty smooth sailing.

They’re all 3ft or 6ft, 100 watt e-marked, and video capable The only one that’s not is my 10ft one - it’s “only” 100 watt rated but doesn’t do video and is limited to USB 2.0 speeds. I only use that one as a power cord for my laptop, though, and it’s bright red so it’s not like I’m gonna mistake it for anything else.

So far, I haven’t had a need to upgrade anything to the new 240 W spec since I rarely use more than 65W.

I"m not so much against it (it was good enough in its time). I’ve just come to appreciate the mostly “universal” aspect of USB-C and being able to grab any cable from my bag without looking or digging and have it be the correct cable (all my cables are 100W and video capable, so no matter my need, it will be the right cable).

In a lot of ways, I now see anything with less than USB-C as being like the old, oddly-sized barrel jack connectors. Yeah, it works. Yeah, it’s fine. But it’s also now an oddball cable I have to carry around.

I’m old and resist the future in a lot of ways, but USB-C isn’t one of them lol.

Same. I went all-in on USB-C about 3 years ago. My house is still cluttered with cables, but at least I can grab any one of them and charge any device.

That’s just for a vendor ID though for data, right? For basic 5V power (non-Power Delivery), they’d just need the socket and a couple of resistors. I’ve got some cheap-ass devices with USB-C, and even disposable vapes (yuck) have USB-C for charging.

I have 4 of them, but they keep getting lost or semi-permanently attached to Raspberry Pis or ESP-32 boards. The rest of my micro-usb devices have largely been phased out.

I could not disagree more lol. Everyone likes to shit on micro USB, but of all the form factor I’ve used over the years. the mini connectors always seemed to wear out the fastest.

I have C->Micro adapters though they aren’t tethered. I’m just spoiled by only carrying C cables in my bag and being able to just grab any cable without looking or digging (they’re all 100W and video-capable except my 10ft one).

Probably, yeah. I was similarly disappointed when my Kobo came with micro USB, but considering I love everything else about it, I gave it a pass. That, and I typically only have to charge it once a month.

I’ve got USB-C to micro adapters, but I’ve only got 4 of them and either keep losing them or they get semi-permanently installed to a Raspberry Pi or something.

I like how I was courageous enough to not fix the actual typos/failed commands in the actual history lol.

Pretty much, yeah.

Rather than jot down in a text file the various ffmpeg commands I use frequently…

Yeah, for sure. I tend to use WebDAV with that to connect to my Nextcloud more than the actual Nextcloud app. Works great.

Assuming you mean SSH for file transfer? Material Files supports SFTP, and I use it to connect via SSH to my machines to transfer files.
