why isn't it ok? why????

Meme "the number of people who think this is an abomination" over a photo of a USB-A to USB-A cable, "but think this is perfectly acceptable" over a photo of a USB-C to USB-C cable, "makes me sick."

I actually have a double sided male A cable. I was shocked when I got it but I have this laptop cooler that has two A ports on it, presumably to allow a pass through but I'm always nervous that I'll plug it in and fry something.

Cut it in half and avoid the spec violating abomination.

You'd probably be able to remove the cooler's non-compliant a-port and just solder the cable directly.

Then at least it'll be less of an abomination.
