You can fit a USB-C cable in a type A 3.1 port and it makes my computer just lock up and whoops it's right next to the type C port.

If the like two-and-a-half seconds it takes you to make this connection at most 3 or 4 times a day are seriously negatively affecting your life, I hate you and you should be put in jail

The USB logo should be on only one side of the connector. It says which side is up. Still a crapshoot if your USB ports are rotated 90 degrees.

Cat Face Joe posted:maybe get that thumb looked at USB (at least before C) was a strictly host-client architecture because power delivery was dumb, just a V+ and V- pin with nothing really controlling it. If you plugged together two computers (hosts) with one of those A to A cables, it would make a dead short between the power rails of both USB controllers and fry them

DJ Commie posted:don't you have to negotiate higher current with the host controller nowadays? Yeah, so it's gonna be slow charging. The condom is mostly about protecting against malware messing with the files on your phone('s SD card). I don't think the condoms protect against USB killers. Some phones have their own protections against that, intentional or not.

I think a better idea is to use public and untrusted chargers only to charge up a bunch of USB power banks, and then when you have verified that their batteries didn't explode because the USB socket delivered 120V or whatever you can use those to charge up your phone indirectly.
