Gross, the dev board uses micro-USB. It's 2024! Otherwise amazing work. Exactly what's needed to compete with the existing giants.

It saves cost and none of the features of USB-C (speed, power delivery etc) are supported. Makes sense.

How about connections not becoming flaky after you've plugged in the cable a few times. Micro USB was horribly unreliable. USB-C isn't great either, but it's an improvement. Maybe they will get it right some day.

I always hear that but I never had a micro usb fully fail on me but my phone's usb-c are lint magnets and get super loose and refuse to work. When that happened on micro it was usually the cable tabs a bit worn but the cable always worked.
