      So true. Someone needs to make a Web extension hat just crowdsources the awnser. Like: “You wouldn’t belive hat happened next” “He Fell asleep. Read here how and why, if you like:”

    I wonder if they actually considered a reversible design of if this is just being said in hindsight. Reversible connectors were never really a thing I remember hearing about the USB was in its infancy. VGA, DVI, serial, parallel, PS/2, joystick… Nothing was reversible nor was it expected to be.
