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've had old Ugreen devices with a similar setup. Notably a KVM that fried my keyboard bc they failed to follow USB spec.

A-to-A cables are, in general, a hardware design smell. It's best to avoid devices that don't care enough to follow the spec.
