USB cables.
Why the Freaking Hell are there so many different end pins? Drives me freaking batty trying to find the right one to plug in each device.
WHY, WHY WHY ? ! ? !

In theory, all going to USB-C. So, at some point before you die, they’ll be standardized. Or not.

Europe has fixed this and the US will eventually benefit.

Throw all that stuff away and get back to nature. Eat raw nuts and fruit. Get some Birkenstock sandals and learn to be laid back. Relax man, relax. Deep breaths.

I got an iPhone 15 (I think, my daughter Taylor called a couple months ago and told me to pick up and pay for a phone that they lined up for me to get because mine was apparently too old to function in this modern world) and I saw that I had to start all over again with chargers. I didn't know they were called end pins, but I does stink. I had thought there was a law requiring them to all be universal years ago.

I find that showering once or twice a week whether you need it or not can help with this. Mike |
