The U.S. has been trained to see protesting as a bad thing, so now we all just take the hits and blame neighbors whose political values don’t line up with ours.
It’s amazing how many people I meet who think so highly of the American revolution, but are completely aghast at the idea of fighting against the government now.
I had a call to fix a guy’s printer. Look at the back and he’s managed to somehow jam the USB-B plug in upside down, destroying the port. He was elderly, and I don’t know how he managed to apply the force needed. Luckily this printer also can be connected via ethernet. Unluckily, he had previously jammed it into the ethernet port, also destroying it.
It takes 3 tries no matter what the lighting conditions are. Also, neither of my laptops have ethernet ports. :-( Dell for work, Lenovo Carbon X1 for personal
One time I went to plug in my headphone and I accidentally plugged it into the USB port next to the jack… My laptop died and had to have parts replaced. Guy at the shop told me I shouldn’t have done that 🙄. I just said they shouldn’t have designed those ports to be right next to each other if the product breaks when you hit the wrong one.
Anyway, be careful about plugging shit into the wrong port.
Yeah, I meant 3.5 mm but I get lazy these days and call them all RCA jacks to mean “those perfectly fine audio jacks that have been replaced with usb and/or bluetooth”. As an unabashed pedant, I will try to do better.
BTW, it would appear that you are correct about which end is the jack: www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia/term/audio-jackSo it was TIL that the jack is the hole you plug in to.
