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."

Huh, I'm not sure they are comparable.

Didn't USB A and USB B use a master-slave relationship in which the male would (generally) always be the slave, whereas USB C uses agreement and discussion to decide the master and slave roles regardless of connector gender.

Please do correct me if I'm wrong. Also, do we say "agent" now instead of "slave", or what is the new term?

master/slave could be primary/secondary, primary/subordinate or principle/agent, so you're correct on that replacement.

I personally am a big fan of "Mantrap" becoming an "Access Control Vestibule" mostly because it's fun to say.

I like controller/peripheral, which is the most descriptive in my opinion. That's what's commonly used for SPI.
