How is this satire?

I still have my old AT power supply and IDE cables and one day again, it'll be my time to shine!

I had to go digging for a micro usb cable yesterday to charge a flashlight and a micro-b for a scanner

Me, still using a phone with micro usb

I have a Garmin action camera that's under 10 years old that charges with USB mini-B.

Not Micro. Mini.

Though, to be fair, unlike micro, mini didn't lose connection when a snail 3 counties away farted.

Hey, those old power supplies can be re-purposed for all manner of things. Of all the old kit you could hang on to, that's probably the most useful.

The world is so crazy right now the only possible satire is mundane normalcy.
