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 actually have one of the USB A cables above from an old android tablet that had 2 full USB A ports on the side.

One was always a slave/device port while the other actually had a physical switch to change from Host to Device.

That used to be my mobile media tablet. I could cast wirelessly or steam directly from the mini HDMI port. Such an awesome device for how cheap it was.
