i forgot it and i cannot charge the switch
pwnd
What, did you travel somewhere with just the console? That's the same as forgetting any other charger.
You can just drop the system in its dock when you're home to charge it.
I like USB C because I can have just one charger that works with my laptop, my phone, and my Switch.

I brought a bunch of USB cables just no USB c
i'm hoping one of the million vendors here has a usb cable
USB Cucked

usb c you later
USB CUCK
also another attendee lent me his cable cuz we are all in the totally cool higher ed security group irc server 2gether
call geek squad qucik!!!
fuck; the """switch""", you mean
one of these days i just need to buy as many usb cables as i can afford from aliexpress
i'm so tired of losing them or having them break on me

I have a big drawer filled with USB cables. There's so many kinds now and somehow or another I ended up with a couple of each.
microUSB 2.0, microUSB 3.0, power-only microUSB, miniUSB, USB-B 2.0, USB-B 3.0, USB C-to-C 2.0, USB C-to-C 3.1, USB A-to-C 2.0, USB A-to-C 3.1, microUSB OTG, USB-C OTG, USB-A exension cable, and a few different lengths of some of those myface;
at least I probably won't run out

yeah, with all the usb protocols we've cycled through they've become an absolute nuisance to keep track of awdood;
game consoles use mini or micro usb
phones use micro usb or now usb c
you have to be worried about whether it's 2.0 or 3.0 or quickcharge capable (quickcharge is great for your phone, but it'll destroy your ps4 controller and many other devices nyandood;)
otg for every standard
so in addition to your two dozen various usb cables of which only maybe six are ever useful at any given time, you also have to get a dozen different adapters to maximize compatibility across standards

The things I use each USB connector for are:
microUSB 2.0: DualShock 4, Xbone controller, old phones I keep around for tinkering reasons, USB battery packs, raspberry pi, chromecast
microUSB 3.0: External hard drive
miniUSB: PS3 and Wii U controllers, some USB hubs, portable DVD drive
USB-B full size: printers (2.0), hard drive sata dock (3.0), some USB hubs
USB-C: Switch+controllers, my phone (Nexus 5X), my laptop (XPS 13)
In my opinion, every phone, controller, portable hard drive, USB hub, printer, etc should ditch the old connectors and move to USB-C so it's less of a mess moving forward. Transitioning is fine, but relying exclusively on outdated connectors (even miniUSB) for new stuff just serves to prolong the mess. At least USB-A can coexist fine (even if Apple doesn't want it to) since most of its devices have multiple ports anyway.
I'll be keeping my old game consoles and controllers around forever, but at least eventually in the future I hopefully won't ever have to use older cable types for anything else. Only miniUSB is now completely last-gen for controllers.
Also OnePlus should ditch their "Dash" charger (no interoperability with anything), Apple should fix their bad non-Pro MacBook charger, Nintendo should fix Switch's many weird charger/USB/dock issues, and Qualcomm phones should move to normal USB PD chargers akudood;

QC can destroy a DS4? I didn't know about that. I've never owned any QuickCharge chargers or devices and would prefer to keep it that way.

iPhones moved from the 30-pin to Lightning while Android (and the rest of the non-Apple world) is moving from microUSB to USB-C, so it's more-or-less the same situation except at least all the worthwhile Android phones still have headphone jacks for now. Apple is almost definitely about to move iPhone chargers from USB-A to USB-C which means the old lightning cables will be useless on the new chargers sillydood;

it should not be this difficult to buy a single fully functional cable, the usb situation is simply inexcusably confusing

USB-C fixes* this. Every USB-C cable (C-C, C-A, and C-Micro) is required by the USB spec to support up to 3A. With USB-PD that means up to 60W. But it's not perfectly simple: some USB-C cables (C-C only) can support more than that, up to 5A (100W), which only matters to higher-power devices like the 87W 15" MacBook Pro. And some uncertified longer cables on the market don't meet this 3A requirement because the manufacturer designed a 3ft cable with a good gauge but then simply extended the cable to 6ft without increasing the thickness.
But yes, with microUSB and every other type of USB cable made before USB-C was introduced, you can expect every cable to support at least 0.5A (USB 2.0) or 0.9A (USB 3.0), but anything above that is optional. Only a few of my microUSB cables support even 1.5A let alone the full 2.4A that iPad and Anker chargers provide.

Because USB-PD exists now and is all-around better
Because QuickCharge does weird things that USB forbids which causes problems with DS4 and other devices
Because it's yet another class of incompatible accessories that won't interoperate well with anything I own
Because it's vendor lock-in
Because its revisions happen so often that they become obsolete even faster than other types of chargers

i probably should have been more clear, i was using "quickcharge" as if it were a genericized trademark
i probably should be saying 'fast charge' instead to avoid confusion
and there are, of course, far better implementations of fast charge technology than Qualcomm Quick Chargeā,,¢, which i would not at all doubt is mediocre
in fact, qualcomm in general is consistently the most mediocre-at-best of the major mobile cpu designers
i go out of my way to avoid qualcomm phones, so i've never even actually used its implementation of fast charge lol
but i have used, for example, intel's, and intel's has never caused me any trouble

very much unlike the careless usb coalition
that's what makes apple cool :'(

Samsung Adaptive Fast Charge and Motorola's TurboPower (the older non USB-C version) both are reverse-engineered imitations of Qualcomm QuickCharge, so they suffer from the same issues or worse.
USB-C "fast charging" is pretty nice. You can expect basically every USB-C phone to support at least 15W (5V/3A) with the same standard charger, though the bundled chargers vary since Samsung/LG/HTC still bundle QuickCharge chargers instead while Google/Motorola/Sony seem to prefer standard USB-C. Pixel and other future high-end phones use USB-PD for 18W or more.
I have a bunch of USB-C chargers for both phones and laptops. I also own some non-QuickCharge USB-A chargers with pretty good speeds, like the iPad charger and some Anker ones which all support 2.4A (12W).
side note: Google's Pixel charger works fantastic with Switch, just as fast as Nintendo's charger, but unlike Nintendo's charger it's a lot less bulky and actually works with USB-C phones without problems

Qualcomm beats MediaTek, but Samsung and Apple are better than both.
Thanks to Qualcomm's patent and licensing nonsense, Samsung can't even use their own Exynos chipsets in the US, and they're not allowed to license their own chipsets to other manufacturers
Intel and TI mobile chipsets are dead, Apple will never give their chipset to an Android phone
Exynos probably has a little hope in the US in the future when CDMA is finally dead (until then, importing is an option for GSM users), but not on any phone I'll ever buy since I don't like Samsung's software. The only other hope left for avoiding Qualcomm is Google's rumored work in making its own chipset.
