I'm a USB-C Maximalist

A traveler describes the benefits of adopting USB-C as a universal charging standard, demonstrating how a single power brick with USB-C ports successfully charged all their devices—phone, laptop, smartwatch, eReader, toothbrush, and more—during a 7-week European holiday. The author argues that USB-C's ubiquity, reliability, and standardization make it far superior to proprietary chargers, eliminating the need to carry multiple cables and providing confidence that replacement chargers can be found anywhere in the world.
