   You know those flash drives that have USB-A on one end and USB-C on the other?

   I wonder what happens if you plug them both in at once... I'm guessing nothing good.

     it also identifies itself as a
     "VendorCo ProductCode", with vendor ID of FFFF and product id of 5678.

     what butthole of aliexpress did we buy this USB drive from?

     @foone I just tested this! The answer is that USB C takes priority. Even if the A device was plugged in first, C will take over once it's been plugged in, and return control when it's disconnected.
