why isn’t it ok? why???

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.”

Why?

For the glory of Satan, of course!

Hub switches, for one. Power is another (usb a is easier to solder on by hand, as well as cheaper)

you can use them to transfer files between PCs without the need for a flash/thumb-drive I also have a few flashlights that charge in and out through a USB-A

Transferring files that way actually seems really useful, I did not think of that
