The mod petition hasn't been accepted yet, please only talk about usb type B in this thread.

USB type B sucks. It's garbage. Every UBS connector should have been mini B. Micro B is such poo poo that I don't even need to mention it, except I will because it breaks easily and it sucks. Type B is poo poo too its too big and how are you going to plug it into a normal size device like a phone?

gently caress your god drat r-word connector, USB type B. In conclusion, its bad.

As a storage admin I have to disagree with your opinion on SFP. Sometimes the Tx and Rx have to be reversed at one of the cable ends because the manufacturers can't keep their poo poo straight. :argh:

I guess that's more of a rant on cables than connectors. I feel better now. Let's talk about twinax....

lol for our thinclient rollout I had to buy a bunch of cheapo network-enabled hp laser jets because the presence of the jet direct controller gated support of PCL but we only used the USB-B plug on them and it was a daily occurrence that someone messed around with it and jammed that bad boy in the ethernet port

all usb is bad and type c is actually the worst because of all the dump poo poo you can do with it and have it competely fry everything connected in any way. it owns that they never considered that some non nerd would hook a cable into the port that it fits into without reading 10 pages of errata about what can and cannot accept power

the only good connector is lightning

you can do that with any kind of connector if you believe in yourself

but the only usb-c stuff out there in any number are macbooks and switches and that stuff just works
