Meme “the number of people who think this is an abomination” over a photo of a USB-A to USB-A cable, “but think this is perfectly acceptable” over a photo of a USB-C to USB-C cable, “makes me sick.”

I am a stupid end user. But I’ve never found an instance where I needed male to male cords.

You’ve never used HDMI?

My usb-b monitor stands alone

In general? Off the top of my head I remember these male to male cables.

  • Ethernet cables
  • telephone cables when they were a thing
  • audio cables of different varieties
  • optical cables
  • coaxial cables when they were a thing

Chargers are now female. So you need m2m to charge your phone
