That's ok. Irrespective of which way they put the ports, you still have to insert it 3 times before it goes in anyway. The first two are always wrong
My favorite is when laptops mount their USB ports upside down and I have to lift the laptop for my interactive peripherals.
Sigh, the fact that this even exists make me sad.
Fair.
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 /s
3.0, 3.2 or 3.2 2x2 ?
3.2 gen 2 pro max sonic & knuckles edition.
3.2 2x2 Episode 2.
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 (for one, 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.

Chaotic-er Evil: forces USB cable into HDMI port
I had some gear about a decade ago that had USB 3 and eSata on the same port. Wild times

Imagine a port that's both HDMI and USB. USB-C doesn't count.
USB-C doesn't count
But... 😩
Gotta be a HDMI port. Not a port that supports the HDMI protocol.
That's just chaotic neutral

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.
You mean, the couple of seconds it takes trying to plug in a USB-A the wrong way, having to flip it over, discovering you had it the right way the first time because USB-A ports are bastards, and having to flip it over again?
Am 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?
If the port was easily accessible, I would. This problem only comes up when it isn't.

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.
So more "Neutral Good" in the sense that things might not be immediately obvious and everyone is going to clown on them for being lame.
USB 1 only has four pins, so this is ≥5Gb/s
Um acktually, usb 1.0 ports are supposed to be white, these should be 2.1 ports.
that's so racist

This is why I do both ways everytime
Third time's a charm, I always say!
Can i uhh get a firewire?
A single dustrag. Preferably a clorox wipe. Please, I'm begging.
Duster sheets like swiffer wiped gently are excellent dusters.
You can also get a roll of like 50 reusable microfiber cloths from any home store for less than ten bucks. They work just as well as any overpriced branded duster wipes, and are washable/reusable as an added bonus.

I didn't notice the USB port on the right, I was so focused on the shitty alignments. Like how can you fuck up only some of the 'S's? I get that the ports are a result of the outline of the parts soldered to the board. And getting the HDMI vertically centered, or having the single USB port not turned 180°, would require both effort and a bit pricier BOM ... But! The engraving? It's the one thing that's not relying on external factors.

Should have used display port instead of HDMI because from certain angles you only really see the rectangular side. Not that I ever tried to plug a USB thing into mine.
On my laptop there's two USB ports on the back and an Ethernet port in between. Ethernet is exactly as wide that an USB A connector fits into it and feels close enough to the real thing.
There's also the Lenovo proprietary power connector, which has almost identical dimensions to USB A, so it feels like putting an USB A connector in the wrong way.
It's basically impossible to plug in a USB connector blindly into this laptop. I always have to shut the lid to plug in USB.

I see this and raise you Mini DisplayPort.
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.
