    What about the back of your tv? Or friend’s PC? Or library computer? Or phone charger? Or… Any other Universal device using the Universal Serial Bus…

    You may learn YOUR devices, but you may also have to interact with other devices at times and USB didn’t make it easy in the past.

    Now, type C is a thing and it helps with plugging it in right the first time, but that one has the HUGE issue with allowing any protocol since USB 1.0 and everyrhing else is optional. So even though you can plug a type C monitor into a type C microphone, nothing will happen, so it’s not stupid proof anymore.

      True, but rare. Back of your TV? You’ll defenitely see it while plugging in because you wouldn’t even know where the ports are otherwise. Other’s devices don’t work but you still can flip it three times since thats rare
