I travelled recently with six electronic devices, and every single one used USB-C for charging. It was wonderful, and not an experience I've had before.

Installed Linux on a new laptop yesterday, and needed to find a USB stick in a dusty drawer. The stick previously had Arch Linux Installer 2021 on it! I can't think of any other uses for the device these days.

USB-A connectors seem absolutely massive when the majority of my connectors are USB-C. With hindsight, maybe the original USB standard could have been smaller. USB 1 came out in 1996, way before the modern smartphone, so I assume it was more focused on desktop devices.
