barrel jacks were great until you lost them and had to buy a new one for way too much money. but, I'd rather have a standardized barrel jack than usb c

yeah my problem is not with having a standard, but with choosing USB-C for it instead of something better.

I get that USB-C was probably the more pragmatic choice since it already existed and a lot of devices were already using it. But I'm still team "Let's make a new good standard rather than use one that's just okayish"
