Do you not think it's possible that the specification makes it hard to make a connector that is robust?
I'd like that connector to be a bit more secure. Not a lot, just a simple mechanical notch like on RCA would do.
Isn't the connector meant to go into a socket?
Buy shitty products, get shitty outcomes. This is not the fault of the connector standard.
No more putting in the connector upside down
Why on earth is a connector standard secret?
How is this different/better from Apple's connector?
If only there was a way to put a second connector to the device.
It's not the plugs, it's how they design the case that the plugs go into.
Doesn't mean someone buying a connector like this to DIY their own thing know what they are doing
