USB inventor explains why the connector was not designed to be reversible
USB inventor explains why the connector was not designed to be reversible
Someday we'll look back and laugh (or cry) at our early USB struggles.

EXPLAIN!
The picture explains itself. The cable exists in a 4-dimensional space.
The reply is pretty self-explanatory too. The cable exists in a 4-dimensional space.
You guys joke about this, but he managed to create a connector with three sides: up, down, and "oh yeah the first side was the correct one"
It doesn't necessarily need to be 4-dimensional https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinor
That entry needs a ELI.
"In geometry and physics, spinors /spɪnər/ are elements of a complex number-based vector space that can be associated with Euclidean space.[b] A spinor transforms linearly when the Euclidean space is subjected to a slight (infinitesimal) rotation,[c] but unlike geometric vectors and tensors, a spinor transforms to its negative when the space rotates through 360° (see picture). It takes a rotation of 720° for a spinor to go back to its original state. This property characterizes spinors: spinors can be viewed as the "square roots" of vectors (although this is inaccurate and may be misleading; they are better viewed as "square roots" of sections of vector bundles – in the case of the exterior algebra bundle of the cotangent bundle, they thus become "square roots" of differential forms)."
Seems pretty self-explanatory to me! /s
I don't think regular space is a Möbius Band.
USB-A is a spin-half connector type
