The Confusing World of USB
I'd be really curious to understand the origin of this "USB required 3 tries to plug in" thing.<p>It seem this is something everybody agrees with nowadays, but was it always like that? After all, USB-A plug has a prominent logo (distinguishable both on sight and by touch) that identifies up-side. It should be dead-simple to do, no? What went wrong?<p>- Did some laptop manufacturer mount USB-A receptacle upside-down?<p>- Or was that micro-B that trigger this? (for example Samsung/Nexus S and LG/Nexus 4/5 have micro-B receptacle upside-down relative to one another)<p>- General feeling of inferiority from Apple's Lightning plug?<p>- Something else altogether?
