And then one of the biggest selling points of USB type C is moot - namely its longitudinal symmetry, which allows to plug it in without caring about orientation

- gonvaled 10y agoWell, that was a practical joke for over 5 years with USB 2, and I do not find it so funny when plugging in my phone to the charger half sleep at 3 o'clock in the morning.
- semi-extrinsic 10y agoActually, USB 2 is nice in one way, it makes it easier to explain half-spin particles in quantum mechanics. "Just like plugging in USB, you have to rotate more than 360° to get back to where you started."
- chriswarbo 10y agoAfter the umpteenth time of hearing that joke, it's still not funny, and it still makes half-integer spin seem more mysterious. A much better analogy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJRtxTyROOU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJRtxTyROOU
