why isn’t it ok? why???
Meme “the number of people who think this is an abomination” over a photo of a USB-A to USB-A cable, “but think this is perfectly acceptable” over a photo of a USB-C to USB-C cable, “makes me sick.”


What’s a common thing that would require the use of USB A on both ends?
it was common amongst digital cameras in the early 2000’s
They make A-to-A cables with a bit of file transfer software integrated into the cord. Useful for transferring big files between two PCs without setting up a network.
The only place i ever saw it was on those cooling padas for laptops
nothing worthwhile, as it’s not allowed (for a good reason)
