@@HolowatyVlogsBut, USB Micro bends easily and sucks for disconnect and connect cycles. It's the perfect choice for this product. You just have to charge a user negligence maintenance fee every time it wears out for every time it needs to be repaired. USB Mini is by comparison, much more robust.

@@HolowatyVlogs Hot take: I think USB micro is better than USB mini. Because the latches are on the cable rather than the port, more stress and wear is put on the (easily replaceable) cable rather than the port. I remember my Windows Mobile device with a mini usb port, and the constant wear caused the port to be looser over time. All that being said, USB 3.0 micro b is an abomination to all mankind. To be honest, before the days of USB-C, I really liked the design Apple's 30-pin dock connector. It's a little frustrating Samsung made their own (similar) connector rather than adopt the PMDI connector. It never wore out the same way micro USB connectors did (because latches were not only on 1 side), and the risk of port damage is lower on short fat connectors. Although a lot of the pins on the 30 pin connector became vestigial, and Apple never made it an open standard -- I wish a similar connector design caught on. I feel like we could have lived in a universe where a "USB PMDI" connector became a thing before USB C came around.

I remember an older type of those linking undercabinet lights, that used the Figure 8 shaped plug to connect them. The big issue with them was they were powered by outlet power and they didn't give a cover to cover the power connector at the end of the line of lights, which means there would actually be full outlet power that could easily be touched by anyone.

If you lived in either Colo or even NM- there are surplus places that'll make you weep. Especially near the labs around Albuquerque. I know of a place (that I hope is still in business) that sells things, like say the computer end of an electron microscope. Out in the 'scrapyard'. This place is on 66, east of the Goodwill. Our world gets greyer and murkier every day. This video shows that (not the quality- what's left in stores these days to pick thru).
