#blog we all love to dunk on how the old school usb-a plug is "accidentally 4d" (btw non-standard flippable a and micro-b are a thing, one even broke my controller) but when was the last time any of yall tried to plug in an hdmi without seeing? it's mission impossible

at least type a is a rectangle, and then sort of inset so it easily keys in - then it's easier to flip - while the hdmi female is flush with a potentially perforated panel of various connectors

i think they were expecting me to use the #chromecast
