It amazed me that looking around for a USB-C fan to come travelling, most of what’s out there is A) cheap plasticky trash;and B) mostly USB-A.
I refuse to buy USB-A accessories in the year 2025. The format is dead to me. I want to always have the right cable with me for all my devices (don’t even get me started on this being extremely not solved for USB-C 😅)
It’s funny how some niches get EXTREMELY well-solved with good engineering (e.g. computer cooling) and yet never marketed for use cases beyond the original very narrow case, despite being very capable & cross functional.
I often reverse a large trailer in unfamiliar places at night. I was looking for 2x “red torch” to be markers. Every torch I found was either hideously expensive or not rechargable / only charges with USB-A. Until brainwave: rear bicycle lights are cheap as chips & USBC!
