   bad idea: USB-C flash drive shaped like a 5.25" floppy disk.

   and it checks which way you plugged it in, and only shows you that half of the files. You want to see the other files? flip it over!

     @foone I love that the USB protocol accounts for detecting orientation of the plug

     @sun@shitposter.world @foone@digipres.club it's not really the data transfer protocol that's accounting for it, it's mostly just configuring the muxes with USB-PD. I don't think even USB4 which was built with Type-C in mind has any orientation specific stuff.
