Comment on Chaotic Evil
Dumhuvud@programming.dev 2 months agoAm I in the minority if I inspect both the port and the plug before trying to plug a USB-A device in? Why frustrate yourself by attempting to plug it in blind?

I try to plug it in without closely inspecting the port because I can with just about every other type of port. It’s easy to plug in an HDMI, Display Port, or Ethernet cable on the first try because of the asymmetrical shape, and things that use barrel plugs like headphone jacks just don’t care about orientation. USB-A is one of the few port types that combines the worst of both worlds.

If the port was easily accessible, I would. This problem only comes up when it isn’t.
