@goleztrol@mastodon.social @penguin42@mastodon.org.uk @760ceb3b9c0ba4872cadf3ce35a7a4@wetdry.world “Sturdy” is one word I would never use to describe a USB Type-C port. Those things are barely better than Micro-B and a step down from Mini-B. And again, even if you go with a ring mechanism which can easily be opened by the users, none of the mechanism *needs to be* metal. Not even the rings. There are some impressive thermoplastics now which can be made conductive only as needed. A spring/brush system could maintain contact between the pages and the rings if needed, or pogo pins could be used as I mentioned before.
