I can finally put it in without looking

I put my USB in the wrong port for a laugh once. The computer didn't like it at all and went all BSOD on me.

Any port in a storm.

i always miss, its very embarrassing

I only have a micro USB, but it's what I do with it that counts.

There always seems to be some sort of residue left in the port when I'm finished. It seems tighter when I'm getting it back out too, like the port has closed up a little.

I know we're talking about insertions, but be careful pulling it out too soon; you lose files and eh, stuff.

Ah.................yes, know what you mean..............those rear ports always behave like that.

USB-C Solves this problem

Only on one end, they're still USB-A on the other end.

It still takes me 4 or 5 spins to get it in. The first orientation was usually the correct one.

I've been relegated to wireless charging for some time now, haven't been near a port in an age.

Perhaps it might be a good idea to join one the groups that can give you access to an open port when you need it.....................could save being relegated ?

It's lower than you think.

I once tried using a gender bender many years ago but never quite got the connections quite right

I used to have serial interfaces but nowadays have to look at them online

Werewolf · 30 Mar 2016 at 22:03

I tried parallel interfaces for a while, but they were always too much trouble to get working together.
These days I'm a serial man.

I sometimes manage to insert it into the wrong port. It causes a little surprise and alarm at first but once in you're home and dry.

I love lamp.

Can't beat a good set of D type plugs and a nice round DIN socket.

I heard the new Dell C stack connector is quite good and quite a good 'Perc'

I'm suspecting that event persists in memory no matter how many times you reboot your device.

Mine is an odd one.

It rarely takes my little dongle, but perhaps my little dongle is past it. I sometimes play with a joystick and I have some fun playing games. I can always put a mouse in though, that works just fine :confused:

Weird.

Mine got too loose over the years and keep thinking of a new model but the old one still works
