Me trying to insert a flash drive at night

I flipped one like 5 times yesterday before I realized that I was 90 degrees off…

3 tries only if you’re lucky. Normally it’s upwards of 5 or even infinite until you actually look at the port

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.

My guys plug USB-B into the printer’s Ethernet port just fine without destroying it. I also did the same a couple times… I mean it fits perfectly.

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

It’s actually very simple. Look at the hole, look at the plug and then it’s a square peg square hole situation.

Edit: I poop in cubes.

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.

What connector did your headphones have? I’m trying to imagine you plugging an RCA jack into ethernet port.

Alcatorda , 2 months ago

TIL a jack is the thingy you plug in, I thought it was the thingy you plug into.

Um, just a normal earphones jack, I think that’s 3,5mm? Not RCA and I don’t have ethernet ports either 😄

bitchkat , 2 months ago

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.

Every time I plugged USB-C into SDCX: perfect height, but why are you moving?

Plopp , 2 months ago

A classmate of mine once couldn’t use the ethernet cable in the lab because the RJ45 on his laptop was all mangled. Because he was gonna watch porn at night. Porn he had on a USB stick to hide from his wife. He wasn’t very happy that day.
