We resolved nothing; ya still gotta try to align the connector 2-3 times before it actually fits.

USB C should have been a circle.

USB Oval like what it is now.

Still wouldn't fix it. USB exist in a superposition of states. The only way to get a quantum superposition system like a USB drive to collapse it by entangling it with another quantum superposition, like the USB port on your motherboard. Skipping over a lot of math, the way to do this for USB is to first test all possible sets of superposition states. Which fortunately for us is only two states; the homo-analogues and hetro-analogues states. This entangles the two systems then upon a third attempt it will be in the hetro-analogues state and collapse. The reason for this is the source code for USB was developed in the bowels of hell.

It was superposition all along!

GET OUT OF MY HEAD! :-P

j/k, you can stay, here's a couch if you want a nap: 🛋️

I just look at the port and the USB connector and see which side the plastic bit inside is blocking and which side is open, can get them right every time if you take 2 seconds to look at them

Unless you're plugging it in a dark place in the back of a PC and you forgot to bring your phone... So you just try and see which orientation is correct.

There's always been an invisible 4th dimensional peg that's not talked about in most USB-A connectors, and you are required to flip your plug around so many times to get it in to the correct position.

Some of us have that inherent knack to sense the 4th dimensional peg without perceiving it...and thus we do not have this struggle. Meanwhile others completely lack intuition of the aforementioned 4th dimension and struggle endlessly with that peg.
