just because there's nothing particularly wrong with only getting the usb in on the 3rd try doesn't mean it's not a minor inconvenience worth resolving.

but if you want a more dramatic example, it's right there in the text: Moylan got soaked because of this inconvenience. if he'd gotten a pneumonia as a result of this and died, then that is suddenly much more than a minor inconvenience.



There's a trick to USB, the block part (in the wire) is nearer the ground. ( motherboard-side for vertical desktops )

Since learning that, I have the confidence to stick it in first time rather than 3rd or 4th.

That's not to say that USB-C isn't a huge improvement that has thankfully resolved having to know that.


I like that usbc is double sided but I find them prone to pop out a lot easier than standard usb. It's a weird ask but wish they were bigger
