this is actually a relevant concern because micro-USB cables are, typically, flaming loving garbage

whenever you buy one it's basically a crap-shoot whether or not it will actually charge a device at 2.1 amps and most of the time I've lost the shoot; between that and the wall units the cables plug into it's more or less impossible to attain that, which necessitates you buying a set which will do so from the original manufacturer of the device

and honestly, if I wanted to buy manufacturer branded cables to charge my tablet or smartphone I would have just gotten a loving iPhone and iPad

basically, gently caress micro-USB

You get a USB cable with literally every device* you buy now and they all work fine wtf are people doing that they need to buy more and are worried about the quality?

Except printers, for some reason

Because when I'm at Point A and have to go to Point B I don't necessarily want to take the cable and charger with me and would rather have another set at Point B waiting when I arrive

you'd understand if you had a job I guess

I just have devices at a and b because I'm not poor, or at least I go to work and say "hey can I borrow a charger" and like magic I get one. Sorry about your learning disability that prevents you from being able to organise and acquire everyday items.

having two tablets and two smartphones and mooching more efficient than having two chargers :shepface:

I'm blaming you when we run out of rare earths

Life optimization tip: buy a second one so you don't have to remember to do that each day. If you need to know which one to buy, well, have I got the resource for you.

Nice!
