link doesn't load but one came with my jbl speaker (type-c-to-a with reversible usb-a side)

the middle part is a bit floppy and just slides off to the right side when you push it in

it works surprisingly well and still works even after a year of use

I used such a cable from ugreen. This cable lasted 1 month, while standard cables from this company lasted for years.

[-] HornedMeatBeast@lemmy.world 27 points 8 months ago

This happened at my first job.

While walking past an office I got called in, the headmaster's secretary and the music teacher were struggling and told me the flash drive they had does not work.

So I take a look and pull the flash drive out of the Ethernet port and plugged it into a USB port and told them they need to plug it into the correct port.

The look on their faces.

But then I admitted to them that I had never seen this happen before and that I didn't know that the Ethernet port was the right width to take a flash drive.

I mentioned this can be done on a Discord server I am on and nobody would believe me so I just told them to give it a try. They probably think I was trolling to this day.

Until you find out that a usbc plug fits inside a usba port and you can mix them up when reaching around your computer. (Don't test this on anything that is powered on, I did it on accident once and it triggered my motherboards usb overcurrent failsafe)

[-] vodka@lemm.ee 17 points 8 months ago

Did this (on purpose) to HP laptops we were discarding at work (Elitebook G5) and you kill the entire USB-A part of the machine.

10/10 would HP again

[-] fl42v@lemmy.ml 6 points 8 months ago

Likely RIP PCH (or the CPU, if those 2 are combined). That's kinda weird they don't install protection on USB ports 'cause those are like 20 cents (at least judging by those in my t480). On the other hand, HP's gonna HP

[-] AtariDump@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

HP = Horrible Product

[-] michael_palmer@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 8 months ago

My cheap AM3 motherboard doesn't cares about USB short circuts. So it's HP's deliberate miscalculation.

[-] vox@sopuli.xyz 3 points 8 months ago

same with my old lenovo laptop, i shorted both the power and data pins literally hundreds of times while tinkering with microcontrollers, and all it did is disable the ports until a reboot

[-] vodka@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It is definitely HP just being HP.

Other non HP machines we have are just fine if you short the USB-A ports

[-] eco_game@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 8 months ago

Duude I tried blindly plugging in a USB-C at the back of my PC ones, I was like "Aha, gotcha" and then my PC just shut down. First came confusion, then I realized it wiggled left and right. That was incredibly scary, luckily ASRock has good protection circuits so nothing happened.

But I sure as hell haven't blindly plugged in USB-C since then.

[-] EpeeGnome@lemm.ee 20 points 8 months ago

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.

[-] rdri@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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.

Your flash drive: "Ana chigai!"

[-] Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

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

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

plugs flash stick into Ethernet port

Flash stick bulges and pops like a balloon as the internet streams into it

[-] EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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.

[-] BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 8 months ago

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

Schrödinger’s port

[-] TetraVega@lemmings.world 6 points 8 months ago

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

[-] Plopp@lemmy.world 5 points 8 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.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Aye I did this the other day and was like "wtf? Oh."

[-] tacosplease@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

This one speaks to me

[-] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 4 points 8 months ago

Me trying to insert a USB cable to a port on the back of my PC below my desk.

[-] bennypr0fane@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 8 months ago

Why three tries in the top panel? It normally takes me 4, bcs I also try it sideways - but you got it right the first time, noi?

[-] mvirts@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Makes me want to build a combo ethernet usba socket

SD card supremacy

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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

[-] Alcatorda@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

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.

[-] bitchkat@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

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

[-] Alcatorda@lemmy.world 1 points 8 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@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 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: https://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia/term/audio-jack So it was TIL that the jack is the hole you plug in to.
