    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.

    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.

    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.

    Fun fact: USB A can fit in HDMI ports.

    When I was a computer repair tech, I had a customer come because their USB keyboard wasn’t working.

    They had the USB-A plug jammed diagonally into the RJ45 port.

    Mind you, this was back when USB was still new and pretty obscure, but still. The rectangle goes in… the square hole?

    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.
