Apologies if the wrong community, if there’s a better suited one, please point me to it!

But, I figure we all buy USB-C cables, and being a progressive group of folks maybe someone has a suggestion so I cause slightly less waste pollution and waste? Here’s hoping!

Edit: Allrighty, apparently I’m just rough on all my usb cables OR you have all teamed up to prank me.

    Interesting fact: USB-C moved the retention springs and parts that failed most (on micro-USB) from the port to the cable for this very reason! Every time I have a cable that needs replacing l’m annoyed. Until I remember that it’s about 1000 times better than replacing my phone or laptop!

      The move happened and was a good idea, but was between mini-USB and micro-USB, rather than between micro-USB and USB-C.

        Well, they did something more! USB-C connectors last way longer than micro-USB ones…
