I have three of these I’ve collected over the last 3 years, and none of them work anymore.

Is this the new USB-C future we were promised? With a single-point of failure for everything as the number of ports on laptop decreases year-on-year?

    Hey, at least it beats Micro USB.

    I’d be lucky if those cables lasted more than a few months before breaking. I threw out literal bin bags full of them last time I moved, not a single one worked at all, no signs of visible damage either.

    My USB-C cables have largely lasted, even the one that came with my OG Pixel still sees use, and one for my work laptop charger is literally bent 45 degrees up but still works fine anyway.

    While I don’t live that dongle life, I’ve never had one of these fail either, but I bought only one and it was fairly expensive.
