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."

You guessed wrong.

It's a ridiculously expensive and "home made" looking, but it saved my hands from OCD.

Ooh, I did guess wrong! That is an interesting specimen.

My suspicion is that they are experts in ergonomics, not in electrical engineering, so they probably aren't aware of how silly and possibly dangerous what they did is. Or perhaps they simply don't care because "it gets the job done", standards and specifications be damned.

Anyway, in this case I'm happy to be proven wrong. Thanks.

I known they outsourced the firmware development, so who knows, maybe the electronics hardware too.
