I can't imagine how filthy the port would get on mine. Industrial work places and open ports are not~~conductive~~ conducive to the healthy life of electronics.

Btw, using fiddly electronics in a work environment is neither.

Not conductive? Isn’t that a good thing?

For filth in a charging port, yeah.

Lol, conducive was the word they were going for

I don't know if you looked at the photo in my post - but there's a rubber flap covering the USB-port.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah. That makes it splash resistant, not water and grime proof. I have a pair of bone conduction headphones I wear at work with that flap and I still have to use contact cleaner on that port like at least once every couple of weeks.
