Turns out, its just a normal Micro-B cable. It is not an normal Micro-B receptacle. Because I hate you HTC. There shouldn’t be an option to change a standard to ft your random world. I understand why they did what they did. In an effort to reduce, whatever, they made an atypical Micro-B receptacle that added the ability to plug in a proprietary cable for putting stuff on a tv or whatever. Its still stupid. In general, if you don’t want to follow a standard, don’t.
Cider is brewing, I almost took pictures of the process, but realized it would also look like I was cooking if you know what I mean. Maybe next time, probably when I get to brewing my beer.
