  I have always striven to remain at the cutting edge of obsolescence. It is fun to keep old tech going

    Thank you for being the kind of person I sell my used tech to so I can buy new tech. You are a hero.

  What devices do you have that connect over usb-c aside from a phone? As far as I’ve seen, it’s still not common for keyboards, mice, webcams, controllers, monitors, printers, or external drives (though I’d admit drives are becoming more common, particularly for ssds). I’m honestly curious, because I feel like I’m missing out.

    All my gadgets use USB-C. Bluetooth headphones, eReader, laptop, printer, power bank, 360 camera, they all charge via USB-C.

    Hell, even my neck cooler runs off it.

      Ah, for charging, sure. The comment I was replying to seemed like they were talking about interacting/interfacing via usb-c with their desktop, not just charging, which is certainly becoming more common.

    I’ve got a USB doc, a security key for work, and an audio interface. I also have a charger for my computer that plugs into USB C. It’s much nicer for laptops to save space but USB A is still better for my desktop since I’m not swapping things much and C would get knocked out more easily
