Well, the good news is that it wasn’t really popular in 2014. It probably didn’t become popular until about 7-8 years ago and that was thanks to smartphones.

I think cops are a bad thing and I agree that this is clever.
Same. Music gear (although my recent stuff has started going C), printers and scanners since USB became a standard, older networking hardware, older external hard drives (most of them before USB 3.0), and every piece of medical equipment I’ve ever dealt with. It was ubiquitous from the time USB started in the 90s until USB C got popular after 2014.

You’re right as far as devices go, I was just adding a year or two because most people don’t switch phones immediately at release.
The other side of that is I’m probably a little biased because I was using the weird usb-b 3.0 micro connector (the long ass one) until a couple of years ago on external drives until it got too painful to open up my sample libraries on spinning platters.
So maybe 9 years ago and my view is colored? Or between 7 and 9 years ago depending on how you’re measuring popularity?
