are they gonna stop now
>>107537135Yes. It's the legally mandated "forever connector."
>>107537135works on my machine
>>107537135>>107537467Ok but what's actually wrong with it? Don't tell me bullshit like "they're flimsy/loose" (fixed forever ago) or "there are actually technical differences" (not that much of an issue + infinitely better than having a million different physical connectors)Thinking we need a new connector to replace USB C right now is just consoomerism and constantly wanting new thing
>>107537502>"they're flimsy/loose" (fixed forever ago)How? It's still way looser than HDMI, jacks, RCA, type-A and eve barrel plugs.
>>107537502remember those connectors that we were forced to use forever in the 80s? yeah, me neither.
>>107537502>Thinking we need a new connector to replace USB C right now is just consoomerism and constantly wanting new thingAnd what if someone invents a better connector for phones? Then they have to wait up to five years for the review cycle to trigger and (possibly, maybe, if they're lucky) have government bureaucrats debate whether this new technology should be allowed into the market.
>>107537502still an issue on my Galaxy S23 god damnit
>>107537577>type-Anotry to stick any of the other into a 7 mm slim of metal
>>107537502I think we can live with this physical connector profile. If they want to add a positive retention tab that's easy to do while keeping backwards compatibility. It is the internal capabilities which should eventually be standardized, preferably at the highest common denominator.
>>107537135I only use the cable to charge, I never transmit any data from it. I wish they'd make a magnetic version like the magsafe adapter on my MBA.Don't care about data, I only want to charge.
>>107537135>are they gonna stop nowNO! THEY WILL STOP AT NOTHING!They will not rest until every connector is replaced with usb-c. They've already started replacing HDMI/DP, but they won't stop at that. We're seeing them replacing laptop chargers now too. They will soon be replaced. All electrical cables will be replaced with usb-c. Even 220V/380V they won't care about the risks.The last bastion will be audio cables. Those hero audiophiles will clinch onto their gold plated RCA and jack connectors and refuse to let go. They will hide their XLR and MIDI connectors from the claws of usb.org.. and those will be the last of the free connectors existing.
>>107538297>I wish they'd make a magnetic version like the magsafe adapter on my MBA.Those exist. No idea how well they work.
>>107537970>and (possibly, maybe, if they're lucky) have government bureaucrats debate whether this new technology should be allowed into the marketBitch, please.
>>107538372I use an aliexpress one to charge my phone, it werks just fine, no idea about charging laptops with it though.
>>107537135No they're going to make USB IV followed by USB IV# then USB Epsilon
