    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
