The OP: datapro.net/…/usb-type-d-connector-unveiled.html
Following the overwhelmingly positive response to 180° reversible connectors like USB Type C and Apple’s Lightning, USB Type D’s novel plus-shaped design can correctly be inserted in 4 different orientations, a mere 90 degrees apart.
“With our reversible Type C connector, we allowed users to blindly plug in their devices with minimal frustration. But we wanted to take it a step further. Now with USB Type D, no matter how crazy your night has been, we guarantee that you’ll be able to successfully plug in your phone before passing out.”
Remember when funny people still did April fools? I’ve not seen a good April fools hoax that doesn’t transparently reek of marketing in years

Google Japan always put out great ones, but admittedly I can’t remember how old the last one I remember is, and it could have very well been a decade ago ;_;

My favorite was when they turned Google Maps into a playable Dragon Quest map

Not necessarily April fools jokes, but the Gboard team has been designing and making silly keyboards (and publishing the schematics)

How many standards does it take to make one-for-all actual standard?

Superconductor kept at a few Kelvin should do it. Available on any system with build in cryogenic unit. It’s part of the D port standard after all.
Cort@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
Cryogenics is only an optional part of the standard. You’ll need to make sure both devices support the USB D pd420.69 spec otherwise you’ll never get the full rated speed.
Stupid usbif always making critical features optional.

Sure, they can request 1.21GW, but the answer’s always “no”.

Thanks. Now I can’t get the image of a time-traveling DeLorian, with an iPhone plugged in where the MrFusion was, out of my head.

“The massive ceramic connector and 10 inch thick cable immediatelly make obvious that the USB-D connector has been designed from the ground up to be able to power the latest generation of Graphics Card”

Next up: USB-E which is just a barrel plug that can be inserted 360 degrees.

Maybe the exact size and shape of a headphone jack
dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 2 hours ago
But it’s a 16-ring barrel plug.
