Yeah, I do @musllibc, FOSS & infosec stuff. But now is not the time for a mostly-/only-tech Twitter feed.

      I use surface mount micro USB connectors without any through-holes. I was curious to see what it takes to rip them off the board. Lateral force broke the plug and left the connector intact. Substantial vertical force broke the plug first, then the connector.pic.twitter.com/9RDsUadf7y

      Any kind of connector without through-holes is just fatally bad design.

      That sounds a touch dogmatic, though I respect the purism. If modern designs truly hold solid from the ground pads, why all the extra board piercing work?

      Because connected devices falling off tables, cords getting tripped over, etc. etc. all happen, and it's ridiculous for expensive equipment to get ruined or to spend a few hours on repairs when prevention was easy with a slight increase in manufacturing cost.

      USB micro put the effort into engineering a solution where the cable, not the device, gets ruined, but it only works if the connector is properly attached to the PCB, as seen here.

      Older purer purism: External jacks should mount to case and not to board, be connected by wire lead/cable to header/jack on board, so torques to plug+jack can't break board.

      This assumes you have a case that's structural. Outdated assumption and weight-inefficient.

          I indeed find lack of structural cases on consumer items to be a distressing implementation of planned obsolescence. The plethora of add-on protective cases shows that the inefficiency is not where designers thought it was!

          case in point if you'll pardon the pun -- my daughter's smalle itablet with a bent screen & case is actually still working but the iphone with a power jack that will recharge only if the cord is angled just so is now unusable for AR (pokego)
