I went all-in on USB-C across my life, and I’m not stopping now

USB-C “all the things” is the dream we were sold when the connector and charging standard first came onto the scene in the mid-to-late 2010s. Fast-forward to 2025: has that dream been realized? The answer seems to be a big maybe. While some users managed to switch their entire tech ecosystems over to USB-C years ago, some still groan when a laptop or desktop doesn’t ship with a USB-A port. I’m quite pleased with the growth of USB-C over the past decade or so, although my personal transition wasn’t always smooth.
