We tech reporters like to complain about tech a lot.
These days, my love and appreciation for USB-C have only grown.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.

One pair of headphones had a proprietary port, as did a smartwatch.
One phone charged via Micro-USB, and an older one via Mini-USB.
One hard drive used a mutanthigh-speedMicro-USB cable, and one microphone used the larger USB jot down-B.

Still, other devices used plain old coaxial DC power connections.
Those were the dark ages.
USB-C provides huge peace of mind.

Of course, the port isnt perfect.
And of course, not every gear has adopted USB-C.
Still, any way you cut it, were massively better off than we were a few years ago.
