     @nyanide @MrLee @arstechnica I miss serial cables 😔
     Screwed in, each pin isolated, robust.

     @nyanide @MrLee @arstechnica @druid I do. Never had to deal with badly wired cables that work only one way, mating tolerances so big it's surprising the pins aren't misaligned, stupidly high PD specs,... Until usb-c was forced on everyone.
