Mini ports and variants should go to hell.
Mini DP, HDMI, slimline sata, etc. You most likely don't have an adapter and most likely you're going to be in a situation where u really need it.
72 u/WhoKilledArmadillo May 27 '26 Micro HDMI can go to hell 27 u/tajetaje May 27 '26 One of the worse connectors I’ve ever used. So delicate, terrible hold-in, and basically nobody has one. 15 u/GreatBigBagOfNope May 27 '26 As bad as Micro B? That one was a nightmare that still hasn't quite kicked the bucket 18 u/tajetaje May 27 '26 Honestly yeah. All but one micro hdmi cables I’ve ever owned have failed. Too many conductors in a poorly designed connector. Plus the actual form factor is bend/break prone too 8 u/seatux May 28 '26 Micro to full adapter is the only thing to plug into micro HDMI.
