@phr I still have Micro USB cords, but that doesn’t mean I like seeing devices that use them. Could be worse. Imagine if there were still Mini USB devices knocking about.
@AaronLeeJohnson@phr Just bought an awesome TINY Holmes branded all metal desk fan that has a mini USB port on it! Works fine and is a bit more robust than micro USB. Ancient connector nowadays, but works just fine for this.

For all the variety of weird things that that giphy brought up [including a lot of “Stranger Things” clips, and THIS was what it stuck on???

VAN MURALS! GROUND SQUIRRELS! SPIT CURLS! AWESOME!
@AaronLeeJohnson @phr I’ve still got a couple of Sansa clips, to be honest.
@AaronLeeJohnson @mossygreen @phr
Same- and I like the older one better than the newer one.
@AaronLeeJohnson @phr
Garmin is still using mini USB.
Wouldn’t it be interesting if this included some estimate of how much light it provided, or how long a charge lasts?
@sfwineguy
i think that would be covered by a simple:
YMMV [or ‘it depends’].
Was that a Thriller reference?
What? No BT speaker? Pass.
@tweezak No knife either.
The hole in the plastic for the micro USB port looks like it was carved out by a malnourished Uighur child with a dull pocketknife.
A rock climber? Come on…you couldn’t have three or four over New Jersey?
Do better, meh.
I have to pass. There are just so many better fantern options out there.
@Xtoff It is almost criminal that it’s not actually called that.
@PooltoyWolf @Xtoff Am using this term henceforth.
@Xtoff Show me!
I do like my trash to be multifunctional
If it’s anything like the one from Five Below then it’s garbage
Unfortunately, MEH knows my obsession with lithium-powered flashy things [e.g., lanterns] - in for a couple.

@PhysAssist They are scary, but did the big monsters ever actually DO something?
This is a $5 or $10 lark, not $24. Pass.
