Hey I can consistently get that around my 4th try

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Fun fact: USB A can fit in HDMI ports.

[-] M33@piefed.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Of course it does🤦🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️

[-] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 2 points 10 hours ago

Your dick can fit in HDMI. Your paycheck can fit in.

Doesn't mean you have to try

[-] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Problem is, I have non-tech-savvy family who do try. And succeed.

[-] M33@piefed.world 2 points 3 hours ago

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.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

what if usb-d is round but the orientation DOES matter?

[-] veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 7 hours ago

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.

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

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.

[-] 007ace@lemmy.ca 5 points 14 hours ago

Ive never had a USB-C with orientation issues. What am I missing?

[-] BCsven@lemmy.ca 3 points 13 hours ago

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.

[-] M33@piefed.world 1 points 3 hours ago

What did I just read 🤷‍♂️

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

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.

[-] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 3 points 13 hours ago

We'd literally and figuratively come full circle back to barrel plugs hahaha.

[-] early_riser@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

USB A has 4 pins. You could use a tip ring ring sleeve cable like on a headset
