      We resolved nothing; ya still gotta try to align the connector 2-3 times before it actually fits.

          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.

    USB’s are made from pure electrons. They need to rotate 720 degrees before they make a full turn.

    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.

    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

    The USB logo is supposed to face up relative to the way the port is mounted on the motherboard. USB’s port isn’t flush with the case, so the flip and flip again action can be skipped if you wiggle the plug up and down and left and right to actually enter the port and not just be stuck in between the case and the outside of the port.

      i’ve got various dells here with them (the front ports) vertically oriented… some go one way, some go the other.

    The first time I saw this, I was in high school - which is a long fucking time ago. At least color the port blue to indicate 3.0 speeds… keep with the times my guy.
