On the rare occasion I plug in a usb flash drive (I assume that's what you mean by "stick") I use the usb-c end. On the even rarer occasion I use it with some device that doesn't have usb-c (this is actually just hypothetical I've never done this in practice) I turn the flash drive around and use the usb-a end.
It's been clear that usb-c is the future for a decade now. How on earth do you still have flash drives that are usb-a only?
I probably use the power button once a month, and I'd say this is the norm for most developers/similar people. It's no harder than accessing the menu button/toggle stick on the back of my dell display.
- lostlogin 10mo agoI rarely see a USB-C memory stick. I bought one and I’m not sure I’ve seen another. I’m usually dealing with ones others pass to me. To make it worse, the machines I use have several USB-A ports and at most, 1 USB-C (any macs being an exception). This is primary on MRI scanners. We live in a deeply flawed world.
- stephenr 10mo agoSandisk have been making dual-port usb flash drives for years. I see no reason to buy/use any other kind, in the same way I see no reason buy a printer with a parallel port or a mouse with a ps2 plug on it. If it's really a significant problem, use the benefits of usb and put a hub or usb extension cord on the desk to connect to. I just cannot fathom how such trivial factors are a problem for people.
