A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

This is dramatically the opposite of my experience. I've never had a usb-c port die, but the microUSB ports were fragile as heck.

I've had cheapo USB-C cables die but that's because cheap.

Do you have a specific cable brand that might be better? I have tried multiple suppliers. Same.

Anker and Belkin both make high quality cables.

Anker is my go to and handles my kids cable abuse pretty well. I also echo the above person's comment that USB-C has been way more robust than micro for me.
