The switch to usb c is starting to pay off finally

It's getting to the point everything uses one cord and I rarely have to go find a micro usb. It plugs right in without trouble and doesn't stop working after 2 months. Life is good. I hope the EU kills off the lightning cable for all your apple fags so we can all live in harmony.

For me it comes at a price which makes USB-A on the host irreplaceable - male to female extension cables. Some exist, but they violate the USB-C spec because the extension conflicts with the wiring in the context of flipping the connector. How USB didn't simply design the pins closed in pairs outside to inside is beyond me.

Simply extending the pins one for one will cause the extended cable only to work one way round, despite the new connector being flippable. This is the price of lazy fucks who couldn't learn which way round USB-A goes.
