There's an otherwise decent shortwave radio out there that was originally charged with a micro-usb, then they released a "new" USB-C model...except it will only charge with a 5V brick because they literally just swapped out the ports. Really annoying.

Oh man, please tell me it wasn't the CC GP-7. I have the micro version and have been hemhawwing about updating it.

I'd imagine that a significant portion of the shortwave radio community is capable of soldering in the two resistors.
