It's not because the USB ports will fail after a few months of continued data transfer, at least that's my experience.

lol, get better motherboards.

tty8k:

Would be actually good if all the advanced tech could unify this many different ports into 1 max 2 standards.

That was why USB was created to have a universal port and not a big confusion of ports .... :P they failed 😛

Type C is will probably be the standard in the EU, and Apple is not happy https://petapixel.com/2021/09/23/apple-unhappy-as-the-eu-proposes-mandatory-usb-c-on-all-devices/

schmidtbag:

I have mixed feelings about it. I think it's good for phones and peripherals but it is a bit too fragile. I personally haven't broken any yet but I know of people who have.

It's crap. I feel the port themselves are absolute crap and worse than the cables. They need to strengthen those USB-C holes.

To begin with I am European and I love this eu decision ! Second the fact that the plug is the same says nothing about what it can do in the end check the USB 3 colors ... All of em and the cables ... And then there are cables that will not work to spec etc etc or missing the data lines completely or having blue color while they are plain ancient usb2 , USB made a huuuuuuuuge mess of the naming and categories .
