  And they should be secured with thumb screws, like an old parallel cable.

    Funnily enough, USB c can also do that.

      Once you’ve used one you’ll be angry that they’re not standard, at least on desktop/kiosk devices. USB-A also had that as an option.

        I use Goop adhesive for cables I don’t want falling out.

        Only takes a tiny amount at the connector shoulder, it’ll never fall out but is still removable.

        Or if I really want it to stay, I use a lot of goop, and I know that fucker is never coming out without a sharp knife.

      But first… 5 different standards of normal USB-C and if you use the wrong type then it will damage your battery.

    In all seriousness, this would make the most sense in terms of progression in design. It already sorta’ is just that, but it’s been stepped on.

    Hah! Just hit me, if I’d seen a USB-C plug back in the day, my first thought would’ve been “oof, someone isn’t playing bootleg cartridge games for a while!”

  My guess is USB D will be one dimensional, ie a cylinder pin, like the good old headphone jack. You can’t plug it with your eyes closed or in the dark

    It would be hilarious if they made it exactly like a headphone jack, but the USB-D slot wouldn’t support headphones.

  latenightnoir wants the D

    I mean… everyone’ll want the D once they’ll standardise it:-?
