Wait until they encounter the final boss
Hey I can consistently get that around my 4th try
Fun fact: USB A can fit in HDMI ports.
Of course it does🤦🤦♀️🤦♂️
Your dick can fit in HDMI. Your paycheck can fit in.
Doesn't mean you have to try
Problem is, I have non-tech-savvy family who do try. And succeed.
Agreed, I still remember that guy that folded a 5.25 floppy disk to insert in 3.5 drive slot
You should be kinder to your family
by putting them out of his misery.
I'm always impressed that they got this wrong even with USB-C. Here's hoping that they finally make USB-D round so "orientation" does not matter.
what if usb-d is round but the orientation DOES matter?
I hate you. I like how you think, and I'll love to see the trolling PoC demonstration, and we will be watching your career with great interest, but I hate you. XD
Ask the musician in your life how they feel about XLR cables.
yeah i get it but that one only goes in the right way. that's old tech, USB-A stuff. I'm talking a symmetrical build; you can connect it in any orientation, but only one orientation works. 359 degrees of wrong.
Ive never had a USB-C with orientation issues. What am I missing?
I have heard on some adapter cables from USB-A to C, you can have the C end flipped 180 and on devices not expecting this you get a different transfer speed on the A end. Rather then build in redundancy and duplicate the transmission path they've just built a cheap this should go this way device.
What did I just read 🤷♂️
thats less of a USB issue and more of a cheap ass knockoff manufacturer issue.
You have to plug it either — horizontal or — horizontal (upside down). You can't plug it / or | or \, so you have to do more twisting and bending in the dark or to reach a far / beyond-corner connector.
We'd literally and figuratively come full circle back to barrel plugs hahaha.
USB A has 4 pins. You could use a tip ring ring sleeve cable like on a headset
