  I’m so glad that the USB-C connector is reversible. Just think about the couple seconds it’s taken trying to plug into a USB-A the wrong way, having to flip it over to plug it in properly. Now multiply that by the billions of attempts over time, very detrimental.

  My favorite is when laptops mount their USB ports upside down and I have to lift the laptop for my interactive peripherals.

    I don’t get it. Any pictures to show what you mean? If the port if upside down you would just flip the cable or adapter right?

      Sure, how about using one of these when the buttons point downwards

  It’s to differentiate 2.0 from 3.0

    Because engraving the symbols is just too expensive.

      3.0 and 2.0 are the same, aren’t they?

      3.0 is what they were originally called. I’m not always against retconning but this time it makes no sense. The Type-A plug is identical for all of them anyway.

      The left two ones are obviously 9-pin, so 3.0. The right one is a different model (the metal is wrapped into a U, not C) but still could be a 3.0 one if the 5 extra pins are shorter than on the other connectors.

  That’s so that you don’t need to turn your plur three times because you refuse to learn the USB standards. Now you need to just try to plug in something three times at least.

    I had some gear about a decade ago that had USB 3 and eSata on the same port. Wild times

      I want one of those laptops with eSATA.
      Would greatly help with testing HDDs right in the store.

    Imagine a port that’s both HDMI and USB.

      USB-C doesn’t count

      But… 😩

  For all USB 1.0 (assuming color is being used correctly) that is of more questionable use.

  But, generally, stuff like this is actually ridiculously useful. If you are just dealing with a tower on the table next to you? Yeah, that is stupid.

  If you are dealing with supporting an office (or facility) full of computers that are all mounted under desks or smushed between the desk and wall and waiting for someone to sit down too aggressively? Stuff like this is ridiculously useful because you can feel out what port you plug what device into AND have the orientation to make sure you do put the thumb drive full of offline updates into the blue or red port and don’t waste 3.0 on a mouse and so forth.

    USB 1 only has four pins, so this is ≥5Gb/s

    not using WSUS

    (also not even using the front ports, which should always be the fastest available on a box like this, but reaching around and blindly fiddling, why)
