- MissTake 2y agoAnd? The GP talks about it being upside down when plugged in to the left hand side of a device. Given that USB-C is Bi-directional, flipping it over would show the screen…
- theodric 2y agoYou're suggesting I plug it in upside down so I can't read it, or plug it in on the right side of my machines which have no ports on the right side?
- rjh29 2y agoI own this cable. You literally put the cable in the left side at an orientation that has the display facing upwards. I feel like I'm missing something! It's bidirectional so you can just twist the cable so the display is facing up..

- gnabgib 2y agoLooks like two definitions of up are being discussed.. - upside down the display is pointing towards the table (useless) - which you have a solution for - upside down, the display is visible, but the text is rotated 180° (as people would say when a calculator is upside down) - you cannot twist your way out of this except facing the computer away from you (99=66, 70=0L 5537=LESS etc)
- rjh29 2y agookay so this is people being bothered about reading numbers upside down, which my brain seems to do automatically. Got it.
- theodric 2y agoI can read the numbers upside down, I just don't want to and I find it silly that these manufacturers took several years to notice and decide to fix a basic fit-and-finish issue that probably affected 90% of their customer base. Like, how on Earth was this not caught during the prototype phase?
- rjh29 2y agoPerhaps most people aren't bothered by it
