alt Hacker NewsI love USB-C.
My ONLY problem with it is it's just a bit too small. That creates mechanical problems within the plug which are annoying. Plug it in and pull it out 1 too many times and eventually you get a loose connector cable that needs to be replaced.
Generally that's fine as all my chargers have replaceable cables, it's just an annoyance.

I also find that I'm constantly stressed that the plug is going to snap.
That being said, in ten plus years of using USB-c.. this has never happened to me or anyone that I know.
It's actually kind of impressive, all things considered.
I get trouble with the female ports too
I have had a failed port on my laptop - fortunately the laptop can charge on two of its ports but it sucks to have lost one.
I have had a failed port on an iPad, and on my phone. Again I was fortunate to have a fairphone, so I just replaced the port.
