I got it as part of this promotion

so I'd guess 2018. I guess I could have reinforced the hole and I probably still could.

The build quality is still awful and given all the varieties of badUSB out there I'm not enthusiastic about a USB connector that lacks a grounding shell. (That said, at our public library all of the Dell machines have AC current floating on the USB shells that give a gentle little shock... That might not be so gentle if you were standing in a puddle)
