Doesn't matter, still have to flip it three times before it goes in

    I'm pretty sure that's part of the usb-a spec.

    A friend and I thought of, but never implemented, a device that replicates this behavior for USB type C (for backwards compatibility). Since the pins on the plug aren't actually symmetrical (B6 and B7 are blank) a custom socket should be able to detect orientation and require three flips before communicating with the device.

    I can actually feel my body tensing up with rage when I look at this.

    Lol. I have a mouse and keyboard switcher that has the USB ports upside down. It is very frustrating.

    had to check mine, now. i don't plug things into it very often. right-side up.

    we do have several dell mini-towers of different generations. among them we got right-side up, we got left, and we got right. only missing the upside-down.

    Well it makes sense for angled USB plugs, that otherwise wouldn't fit because of the table

    Gotta turn it 3 times, regardless of starting orientation, as is tradition.

    Thats perfect for people with weak or injured wrists. Just attempt port 1-2-1 instead of turning USB side up-down-up!

    I know we all love to make fun of this, but ever since someone pointed out to me that the plastic bar of the USB port is adjacent to the PCB/circuitboard - I’ve been able to plug the suckers in pretty much first try.

    But THIS monstrosity on the other hand, is beyond explanation.

    A truly evil person would stick an HDMI port in there among them. Or perhaps a power-only USB port.
