It was superposition all along!
Everyone knows you have to flip it twice to get it into superposition.
The first time I saw this, I was in high school - which is a long fucking time ago. At least color the port blue to indicate 3.0 speeds… keep with the times my guy.
Me every time 😂
USB’s are made from pure electrons. They need to rotate 720 degrees before they make a full turn.
There’s always been an invisible 4th dimensional peg that’s not talked about in most USB-A connectors, and you are required to flip your plug around so many times to get it in to the correct position.
Some of us have that inherent knack to sense the 4th dimensional peg without perceiving it…and thus we do not have this struggle. Meanwhile others completely lack intuition of the aforementioned 4th dimension and struggle endlessly with that peg.

Yeah, but the cables still have major standardization issues. It’s almost impossible to reliably tell if a cable can be used for power and data or just power, leading to people either thinking a cable is broken or over-spending.
that’s why I’ve only got really nice cables that can be used for anything at high speeds
If you put the empty side towards the top of the machine, that works first try 95% of the time. For desktops, the top of the machine is motherboard side up.
That only works if the pc is laying on the long side; most modern pc cases are made to stand only on the short side; kind of a bummer for people like me that still have a desk made to have the pc under the monitor
Yeah but cant you just remember the orientation of your USB porta after having used them for a couple of years?
That is what I meant. With desktops that are short side down, the motherboard side with the CPU socket, PCIe slots, etc. should be considered as upwards
Oh right, sorry i didn’t realise you had already wiritten it.
No worries, I probably could have worded it better anyways
This is a problem for me since I have never once bothered looking at the ends. Let Jesus take the wheel
We resolved nothing; ya still gotta try to align the connector 2-3 times before it actually fits.
Sounds like a skill issue. lol
USB C should have been a circle.
Gotta leave something for the next USB.
That will be USB O
USB Oval like what it is now.
Soo basically
Still wouldn’t fix it. USB exist in a superposition of states. The only way to get a quantum superposition system like a USB drive to collapse it by entangling it with another quantum superposition, like the USB port on your motherboard. Skipping over a lot of math, the way to do this for USB is to first test all possible sets of superposition states. Which fortunately for us is only two states; the homo-analogues and hetro-analogues states. This entangles the two systems then upon a third attempt it will be in the hetro-analogues state and collapse. The reason for this is the source code for USB was developed in the bowels of hell.
Impressive
The USB logo is supposed to face up relative to the way the port is mounted on the motherboard. USB’s port isn’t flush with the case, so the flip and flip again action can be skipped if you wiggle the plug up and down and left and right to actually enter the port and not just be stuck in between the case and the outside of the port.
i’ve got various dells here with them (the front ports) vertically oriented… some go one way, some go the other.
Sounds like you’ve got some Dells with USB ports, and some Dells with off-spec not-USB ports.

glad we’re finally fixing that shit.
Perfectly normal behaviour for all fermions.
GET OUT OF MY HEAD! :-P
j/k, you can stay, here’s a couch if you want a nap: 🛋️
