Well yes, you didn't get first ads. But what about second ads?

Imagine you can set a theme of your choice like "Star Trek technobabble" for little explanations for the delay.

"Delay due to chirality recalibration of phase discriminating amplifier for positronic brain..."

Might literally be one of the best use cases I've seen so far!

Don't forget that macOS literally contacts Apple server for every binary you execute. When there was an issue with those servers, only Apple software was launchable.

I'm aware, it was mostly a joke about these "features" making Notepad worse. Nevertheless, thank you :)

IIUC USB-C puts less mechanical stress on the port and more on the cable connector, so instead of the port breaking the cable should break.

Circular connectors wouldn't be backwards-compatible either, and would be much harder to manufacture at the size of USB-C. I actually can't think of circular connectors with more than 2 data channels that can be plugged in in any rotation - do you have an example? All the ones I can think of (PS/2, XLR) have a set orientation.

Pretty much no way to do so without losing most USB-C benefits.

Power only/power and data already existed with Micro USB, so that part didn't get too much worse.

Little or big endian?

Nice code, good job!
