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.

GET OUT OF MY HEAD! :-P
j/k, you can stay, here’s a couch if you want a nap: 🛋️
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.
This is a problem for me since I have never once bothered looking at the ends. Let Jesus take the wheel
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
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.
We resolved nothing; ya still gotta try to align the connector 2-3 times before it actually fits.
USB C should have been a circle.
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.
Gotta leave something for the next USB.
Sounds like a skill issue. lol
I just look at the port and the USB connector and see which side the plastic bit inside is blocking and which side is open, can get them right every time if you take 2 seconds to look at them
Unless you’re plugging it in a dark place in the back of a PC and you forgot to bring your phone… So you just try and see which orientation is correct.
all hail usbc
It was superposition all along!
Me every time 😂
You forgot to finger it after the second try to see if it’s the correct hole…
