  The OP: datapro.net/…/usb-type-d-connector-unveiled.html

  Following the overwhelmingly positive response to 180° reversible connectors like USB Type C and Apple’s Lightning, USB Type D’s novel plus-shaped design can correctly be inserted in 4 different orientations, a mere 90 degrees apart.

  “With our reversible Type C connector, we allowed users to blindly plug in their devices with minimal frustration. But we wanted to take it a step further. Now with USB Type D, no matter how crazy your night has been, we guarantee that you’ll be able to successfully plug in your phone before passing out.”

  Remember when funny people still did April fools? I’ve not seen a good April fools hoax that doesn’t transparently reek of marketing in years

    Google Japan always put out great ones, but admittedly I can’t remember how old the last one I remember is, and it could have very well been a decade ago ;_;

      Not necessarily April fools jokes, but the Gboard team has been designing and making silly keyboards (and publishing the schematics)

      The most recent is a rotary dial keyboard

  Sure, they can request 1.21GW, but the answer’s always “no”.

  “The massive ceramic connector and 10 inch thick cable immediatelly make obvious that the USB-D connector has been designed from the ground up to be able to power the latest generation of Graphics Card”
