I can finally put it in without looking

I find that my usb stick tries to transfer all it's data as soon as it's inserted.

Has anyone had experiences with a usb y-cable. Being able to insert two devices into one port.

Its been that long i have forgotten what USB is

I have a feeling there's something wrong with my female socket (on my phone). When I try to insert my connector it just feels a bit loose and if it moves my lead falls straight out. It's really awkward when in the car after a drive I think we're charged up and ready to go, instead it's flat and wants to turn off. I'm not sure if it's filled up with fluff so I try pushing it in harder, wiggling it around and it gets going... but any interruption or nudge and it falls out again, sometimes I don't notice. Now I do it at work on the desk, no one else seems to mind.

Trident at the top. Ports on the back of the PC can be awkward though.

What about when it's round the back?

In that scenario I find the angle of attack to be critical.

I find some USB ports can be worn so badly that there isn't a snug enough connection. When this happens, I find the rear USB ports can be more accommodating.

Tried inserting into a firewire port once. Ouch!

Trouble starts when you have two big ones to insert next to each other...

Has anyone else jabbed it in round the back and ended up placing it in the wrong port? Why do they put the USB and ethernet so close together? Don't they know a USB cable can fit in the ethernet port?

USB ports are a pain. How many people have tried to plug a cable in, got it wrong, turned it round only to find it's still wrong and gone back to the original orientation only to find that it was right first time after all!

I do this all the time

Smash his USB pasty :eek:

Mysterae_ · 30 Mar 2016 at 17:29

Even my dog struggles to insert it, but once it's in, oh boy!

Just remember to safely eject your hardware after use.

Do you rub your thumb over it before insertion?

Always a wise idea, let's you pick the correct slot easily in the dark.
