Commentary
Although I am not by nature a violent person, just irritable, it is probably for the best that I’ve never met whoever decided the original USB “A” plugs would only go in one way. For although I am not by education an engineering person, just a know-it-all, I am passionate about efficient and inefficient designs including “affordances,” controls that work in obvious ways. But if you think being not by temperament a socialist person, just an economist, I’m happy about the European Union ordering device-makers to standardize around USB-C, guess again.
