Ordered a set of rechargeable AA batteries and charger. They’re well reviewed and a decent brand. Specifically wanted the charger since it has USB input rather than 120v so I could top the batteries off from my laptop / power bank as they’ll be used for my wireless KB/mouse. The product description only said “USB input” and didn’t specify what flavor. Being 2025, you expect USB-C.

Received them today, and they use micro USB input. Now I have to keep yet another cable in my bag. Day mildly ruined.

    I would agree with that. I just don’t have the level of hate for the old standard that everyone else seems to have. But as it was pointed out, this IS mildly infuriating so I can see that. My biggest complaint with it is that it is very hard to see which way it goes since the taper is subtle, especially if it’s dark.
