OT: micro to standard USB adapter

[Yehuda Deutsch]

Why not use a 25cm / 50cm charging cable? it work for me to power raspberry
pis before.
Use a good quality cable, not those flat / thin cables, because in the
newer pi versions I had power supply issues (at least that is what it said
on the boot log)
