At least back in the stone age when I was in high school, USC's recruitment material featured the phrase, "Come join the Trojan family!"

As a high schooler, I couldn't help but imagine myself in that family portrait between ribbed and reservoir tip.

Serial:

Attempt 1: fail. Rotate 180°

Not quite, yes I'm saying it sucked before but god damn I still like progress. Gimme a bluetooth connection, or wireless Qi charging over USB any day. I just don't get so stressed about a 20 year old connection having a bit of a foible with up and down when the reality is its so fucking simple to use, is generally so easy to hit first time on most cables, was really pretty genius and made such a massive difference when it came out.

If it's all you've know, yeah I can see it must be really annoying having to flip it.

[–]tdieckman 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

You forgot about the issue with serial or parallel ports where you could possibly damage the electronics if you didn't power off your computer before a connect/disconnect. And even if you didn't, you might still have to power cycle to get the OS to recognize the hardware.

That was one of the big improvements that usb brought.

its a matter of perspective. knowing how much worse something can get makes you appreciate what you have. hearing some one complain about something with the same frequency as you once complained about the older tech makes that person sound petty. when in actuality they are no different than you, just a different perspective. doesnt mean its no annoying, just look at the connector one in a while, its pretty fucking simple..

Before ports, what were you using on your computer? Pin headers? Punchdown blocks? Solder?

[–]a-curious-monkey 1ポイント2ポイント  (7子コメント)

There's a comma there dude.

[–]DenjinJ -3ポイント-2ポイント  (6子コメント)

Yes. Commas are used in lists. That just means you're not talking about parallel and serial ports that are USB. Did you mean it as a colon?

[–]a-curious-monkey 2ポイント3ポイント  (5子コメント)

I meant to type a quick reply to a post on a phone keyboard. Not to have some pedant with a virtual red marker be so literal when the meaning was abundantly clear to everyone else around the world. It was clear to you too but rather than take the comment in the tongue in cheek spirit it was meant you thought it'd make you look so very cool and knowledgeable to be the one who corrects someone's grammar online.

[–]DenjinJ 0ポイント1ポイント  (3子コメント)

Way to flip a table there. I didn't write that reply to be a grammar pedant (yeah... because those are so popular, right? I was clearly trying for that...) I wrote it because your post was legitimately ambiguous. I've never had problems telling which way to hold a d-sub connector, so it didn't make sense that you would mean serial and parallel ports were worse than USB either.

So... yeah. If you write something in a way that it means something, some people will take it as written. Imagine that.

[–]a-curious-monkey 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

I didn't flip anything. Just pointed out your overly literal reading and added a dot which seems to make you feel silly now.

[–]DenjinJ 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Not particularly... I was just surprised at the level of vitriol in your tone. It seemed pretty obvious you had a bee in your bonnet when writing that.

[–]a-curious-monkey 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Holy shit man how much vitriol can there be in 5 words? I'll spell it out even clearer for you. My meaning was. USB is much easier to use than the previous generation of parallel or serial cables. No bent pins, no male to male or female to female mix ups, no straining over the back of a huge crt to see if it lines up or find out Wtf is going on back there. No powering up and down and manually installing drivers. Just slip the thing in, if it doesn't go, spin it 180 and try again. I didn't mention USB to serial cables or any other mixed formats just "before USB". Makes for a much nattier post doesn't it? Now you understand and hopefully there's no spelling or grammar mistakes making your brain melt, can you put this to bed?? If it's the last word you need, just reply with "thanks"

Obligatory USB quantum superposition http://imgur.com/LZT4sws

[–]paholg 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Plugging in a USB cable once is enough to collapse its wave function.

Assuming that "up" is the correct position for the given port, either it goes in, and is in the up position, or it doesn't and must be in the down position.

As it often takes three attempts to plug in a USB cable, we must assume that there is more than quantum mechanics at play here.

I suspect wizards.

[–]treenaks 171ポイント172ポイント  (51子コメント)

I never have this problem. Just look at the logo, and learn which way the port considers "up", and you're done forever.

[–]Kichigai 27ポイント28ポイント  (3子コメント)

Except for my Nexus 6, where it's upside down. Only phone I've ever seen that does that.

[–]modus 10ポイント11ポイント  (1子コメント)

If made to specification, the logo should be "up" relative to the computer's motherboard.

[–]lordnecro 66ポイント67ポイント  (15子コメント)

I would say that is mostly true... but not always. I have several where there the logo is on the bottom.

[–]jobosno 45ポイント46ポイント  (7子コメント)

Piss poor engineering, manufacturing and quality control.

[–]lazyslacker 7ポイント8ポイント  (1子コメント)

Engineering sure, the other two not so much. The design of a device/product has nothing to do with the methodology of its production, or the quality of the final product. Manufacturing and quality control must, as a necessity, follow specification documentation, which engineers/designers write, to know how a thing should be made (manufacturing) and how that thing should be tested (QC) to know whether it was made successfully or not.

At a general level, the SDLC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_development_life_cycle) can describe how nearly all products, tech and non-tech, come into existence.

[–]compdog 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't know why you are getting downvoted, since you are actually right. Manufacturing and QC both guarantee that the product matches it's design (engineering). If a product is designed bad, then manufacturing and QC should ensure that it is produced bad.

[–]sample_material 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I bet the designers were like, "People who like it logo up and use the left side, and people who like logo down can use the right! We're geniuses!"

It's a Lenovo. I don't mind it, it's not a big issue because it's not like they're right next to each other and flipped upside down. All of them work as intended, and in fact the arrangement has worked better on occasion.

[–]-Tommy 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

My pc has two ports next to each other that are both different. Fuck that shit.

[–]cefriano 2ポイント3ポイント  (3子コメント)

I have literally never experienced this. But as he said, learn which way your ports like their plugs. Some devices may have fucky ports that like their plugs upside-down, but the cables are pretty much always labeled the same way.

[–]sample_material 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

What about when they're sideways? Huh!? WHAT THEN!?>!?

[–]dapea 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I believe it is different depending on whether the surface-mount USB connector is affixed to the top of bottom of the PCB in the device. Usually it's going to be fixed to the top side but OEMs may need to change that for space reasons.

[–]a_calder 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Which is against specification. Makes me wonder if the manufacturers even look at the spec anymore

[–]mallardtheduck 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

learn which way the port considers "up"

Yeah, that's the problem. Especially if you have many devices, work on other's devices, etc.

[–]O-Face 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

If I can see both the cable and the port, it's easy. Working in IT, that's not always the case.

[–]someguysaid 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

That's what I thought too, except I've found some that isn't true for. On some of my pc's and laptops the ports are upside down too.

[–]phordee 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

As others have said, that isn't always the case. It's even more frustrating with micro.

[–]MerleCorgi 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

[–]stinky_cheese_dude 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

But I still have to check the cable and device to see which way it's supposed to go in... Surely better to have a system where it doesn't matter which way - something along the lines of this

Hahaha if only.
USB ports are supposed to have the solid part at the top, anything you plug in will have the solid part on the bottom.
This is never the fucking case though because manufacturers just don't give a fuck and they'll put the ports in your laptop upside-down because fuck you. Then when you think you've figured it out, they'll flip the port in your USB device as well so they're both upside down. Then if you manage to figure that out, they'll just start flipping coins to decide whether to make a port or device right-side-up or upside-down.

    [–]ForestC 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

    I'd rather have to flip a few times than destroy the port. I know USB is quite a bit more resilient, but older stuff not so much. With things like Firewire 400 the proper force to plug it in the correct way was also the proper force to destroy the port if the plug was upsidedown. D-sub ports can be messed up like that too. Being gentle the first few times is a learned thing for a lot of people.

    USB C can't become common fast enough. Reversible plugs are the future.

    [–]veriix 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

    God that took FOREVER before it finally went in. Almost thought it was already looping.

    Its not that hard to look at the pucks inside the connector and port and see if it needs to be top or bottom

    Spin-1/2 particles need to be rotated 2 times to come back to their original orientation. Just like USB cords!

    I was so relieved when it finally went in

    This hasn't been discussed on the Internet ad nauseam, or anything.

    Did he eventually get it plugged in? I watched for 20 minutes before I gave up. :-/

    EDIT : I see I'm not the only one who resurrected the zombie.

    If you look at the metal part of the usb, there is a "spine" on the bottom part.

    FYI- on a laptop the cable symbol always goes right side up. If you look at the cable before mashing it in, you don't have that problem.

    Not very geeky when you consider it's more like the problem someone would have who didn't understand how technology works. Yes you own the technology, but it really is fairly simple to understand.

    Unlessssss.... you buy a Western Digital external hard drive, in which case the WD symbol goes up and the USB symbol goes down.

    Thank you Western Digital. You fuckers.

    Through approximately 19 years of experimentation and research, I have determined that the male component of a USB device is a 4th-dimensional construct.

    To be completely honest, I first said that long before I heard about SMBC. But I am not surprised in the least there is an smbc about it.

    The first joke made about USB was exactly this. And USB was designed in 1996.

    Congrats guys, you're 19 years behind. Much geek!

    Empty 2 holes face the top, always.

    If it's filled, it goes to the bottom.
