USB USB BSU
My favorite is when laptops mount their USB ports upside down and I have to lift the laptop for my interactive peripherals.
Sigh, the fact that this even exists make me sad.
Fair.
It's to differentiate 2.0 from 3.0 /s
3.0, 3.2 or 3.2 2x2 ?
3.2 2x2 Episode 2.
3.2 gen 2 pro max sonic & knuckles edition.
3.0 and 2.0 are the same, aren't they?
I remember that annoyingly, 3.1 and 2.1 relate differently and 3.2 is the one that everybody calls "USB 3".
3.0 and 2.0 are very different. 3.0 has more pins and gigabit speeds. It's 3.0 and 3.1 which are essentially equivalent, and USB 3 Gen 1, and whatever else they called it
3.0 is what they were originally called. I'm not always against retconning but this time it makes no sense. The Type-A plug is identical for all of them anyway.
The left two ones are obviously 9-pin, so 3.0. The right one is a different model (for one, the metal is wrapped into a U, not C) but still could be a 3.0 one if the 5 extra pins are shorter than on the other connectors.
For all USB 1.0 (assuming color is being used correctly) that is of more questionable use.
But, generally, stuff like this is actually ridiculously useful. If you are just dealing with a tower on the table next to you? Yeah, that is stupid.
If you are dealing with supporting an office (or facility) full of computers that are all mounted under desks or smushed between the desk and wall and waiting for someone to sit down too aggressively? Stuff like this is ridiculously useful because you can feel out what port you plug what device into AND have the orientation to make sure you do put the thumb drive full of offline updates into the blue or red port and don't waste 3.0 on a mouse and so forth.
So more "Neutral Good" in the sense that things might not be immediately obvious and everyone is going to clown on them for being lame.
flash drive full of updates
not using WSUS
(also not even using the front ports, which should always be the fastest available on a box like this, but reaching around and blindly fiddling, why)
USB 1 only has four pins, so this is ≥5Gb/s
Um acktually, usb 1.0 ports are supposed to be white, these should be 2.1 ports.
that's so racist
This is why I do both ways everytime
Third time's a charm, I always say!
Three. It’s always fucking three for some reason
