Probably saved a good $0.45 using a cheaper header. :(

This is Asus. They make a phone that has two USB-C ports, plus a variety of mobile accessories that all have one. They also make laptops, desktops, and motherboards that generally have 2-4 of them.

I'd be shocked if the sales of the entire Tinkerboard line added up to even the mobile products alone, much less the PC lines.

Connectors, especially ones made by multiple manufacturers in the same footprint (including usb-c)really weren't hit hard by this.

This is an enterprise/industrial IoT board with CANBus and RS232. These people carry RS232 over Ethernet and call it a revolution.

I’m sure that finding MiniUSB is much more easier on that setting and ecosystem.
