I've literally had this happen. And yes, Apple's dongle IS one of the best usb-c dongles. They have always sold it dirt cheap as a way to assuage the people that were angry at the headphone jack removal. I am surprised they haven't raised the price after all these years; it has to be sold at a loss at this point. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 month ago I'm still, after several years, confused on why didn't they make the USB-C connector circular. Wouldn't have to deal with the whole "spin 1/2" issue USB has had for decades, and there wouldn't be a "weird angle" for the cable to be pulled at, all angles would be equal. permalink fedilink source parent [–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 1 month ago (8 children) The charging port (aka USB-C port) isnt going to break because you occasionally plug in a cable into it.

I've had it happen to another device that charges with USB-C (Focus V Carta 2). To the point where I had to buy a wireless charger (that itself needs to charge with USB-C so I have to make sure not to do it again) built specifically for the device and it's the only way I can charge the device now. Amazing device though. I've had it for like 6 years now and that's the only part that stopped working. I haven't inhaled combusted plant matter since. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] 9tr6gyp3@lemmy.world -4 points 1 month ago (5 children) Im sure the device is end of life after 6 years anyways, so that sounds about right. I personally havent ever had a usb-c port fail, but ive only been using iphones and pixels. Good workaround with the wireless charging though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 point 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (4 children) No the device works great, the port failed like 3 years ago. The glass part is meant to be replaced and I've gone through a few but they're like $30-40. The rest of the device still works just fine. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] 9tr6gyp3@lemmy.world 1 point 1 month ago (3 children) Oh thats good.

I think I had to do it once. There's an app, but it's totally optional so I don't use it. I'm probably way behind on firmware updates if I'm being honest. But it's a cannabis vaporizer.

Sorry. What I meant by "end of life" was when a manufacturer stops pushing software updates to it, either because they are no longer want to allocate an employee to take care of it, or they've decided its not possible to secure it anymore.
