USB Type C is great! ...unless you have to use dongles anyway.

I liked the style of this video

I bought some USB-C female to USB micro male adapters a while back, and those rock (as far as using dongles go anyway).

I still have the odd device (or drawer full if you count ESP32 dev boards) that need micro, but my supply of working micro cables is dwindling and I refuse to replace them lol.

I honestly would pay to have this done by a professional. Hand in my old USB2 device to replace the connector with a USB-C one to cut down on eWaste. Although, I don't know how many people would do that ...

I would as well, it would probably be cheaper than getting a new device
