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."

What if I put a C-to-A Adapter on both ends? Is that okay?

C to A adapters are sick and illegal

I still have some

Why would that be illegal? Shouldn't there be some way to plug an older flash drive or console cable into a laptop that doesn't have a type A port? (Ahem, Mac)

This is what I mean. This won't help in your case.

They might have been referring to an adapter with a female USB type C port and male type a port.

I use them just fine for charging purposes

Apple Watch -> Qi to USB C -> USB C to USB A -> 5w wall adapter

Yea but it's inefficient. USB-A has a significantly lower transfer rate than USB-C so it'll bottleneck
