“You’d always stick it in wrong at least once, preferably twice, and then swear about it under your breath, as was the style at that time. And the smaller devices had the micro USB ports that had the same problem. And you’d have to take out your mouse’s ball and gently clean all the lint off it when it would start getting all onery. And don’t even get me started about when they removed all the audio jacks from all the cellular phones!”
USB micro 3 was the weirdest. One of my Samsunk Note phones used it.
Neat thing a lot of people didn’t know about it though was that you could still plug an older Micro B in and leave the rest unplugged, so it was backwards compatible for things like charging and slow data transfer.
I also have a widescreen conferencing monitor at work with a USB3-B connector for its built-in camera. It also has Type C, but I guess they wanted to give options for people with computers that didn’t have Thunderbolt ports or were using older docking stations.

USB-B always getting forgotten

Unless you’re an office worker or musician
Yes.
Mini was okay, micro was awful
The pain of those clips
breaking so fucking often 😭
huh really? i’m using micro 5pin on my daily driver phone for more than a decade now and my stock cable from 2013 still works perfectly
I’ve had them break, but nowhere near as often as people online claim. Maybe I’ve just been lucky.
I’ve also had USB C break down on me already, so…
Grandpa, What’s an audio jack? Is that what you guys used to eat those tide pod things?
Can’t you see that gramp’s busy cleaning his ornery balls
ornery
Ornery vs Onery. They are both valid.
I actually miss having to clean the mouse’s ball. It was oddly therapeutic.
Nah give me lasers, but it was fun to spin as a fidget toy
