One day I realized I developed a skill for correctly inserting the USB on first try and I'm in an existential crisis ever since.

The "empty" half of the plug (with the two hollow squares) is either at the top or on the right in 99% of cases. Once you realize that you barely ever have to flip it even one time.

Do you mean the empty half of the cable? Because the plug itself has the empty half on the bottom.

Usually easier to look for the USB logo or company's branded logo on top. The bottom is usually blank or containing legal info. The bottom also has the zig-zaggy join in the metal.

Plug is on the male part on the cable. Receptacle is the female part on the device
