Electrons are spin of 1/2, so electronics must also or else the electrons misbehave.

The enemy's gate is down.

Seam goes down. You're welcome.

There's also an indent on the up side.

The problem Usb-c has is when dust builds up inside the port from your pocket etc. 😅 (For some reason seems to be more susceptible to it in my experience than usb micro)

USBC is awesome but it is backwards. Devices should just have holes and the pin should be on the cable. I guess apple blocked that because lightning is like that.

Yeah, hopefully next gen usb can do that in 2034

Or maybe we could switch to a combo of optical data and wired power with a barrel connector that has an optical connector in the middle.

What would happen with circular connectors?

Behold the future

Spin 1/2 USB for extra uhh usability.

Ah, yes, the 4-dimensional properties of USB, turn 180º twice for different properties...

One of my favorite interactions online was when I asked how do I tell what a usb-c looks like, and got downvoted to hell lol

I thought it was a Brownian USB. We know which alignment it should be in, but we can't be certain since we know the vector of its movement into the port.
