haha, damn...
i've got usb-c dummy plugs coming in the mail soon... yeah i've had this problem with a few usb micros over the years and i hate it
the usb micro to usb C transition gave us nothing of value except reversible
the design of the apple plug was better, and my yubikeys, i have two, the usb C and usb A kind and the usb A kind has no serious risk of problems in this kind of way, and the size of usb A socket is such that such guff is easy to remove, and corrosion is unlikely to grow big enough to bridge the lines
this is what the eurocrats gave us - convenience - reversibility, but no actual increase in durability or utility, as with the apple style connector
it's insane, because literally, it just requires like 3 components in the plug side to switch off the power to one side or the other depending on where the ground contacts
