USB-A is the common standard. Most devices are made with USB-A compatibility. Most portable media are USB-A.

Well, per spec the client devices are supposed to have B ports (e.g. printers, scanners, external hard drives, etc. are all B), thumb stick are outliers in that they use A.

Well they used to at least, all the ones I've seen recently are A/C. A is legacy at this point.

They had female B ports and you usually connected them to the PC with a male B to male A cable.

Thumbstics forego the cable for easo of carrying so they provide what the cable would, USB A male for the host.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
