@thomasfuchs 😬 ah yes, I first learned of this from https://hackaday.com/2021/03/22/cursed-usb-c-when-plug-orientation-matters/

I only ran into a bad case of it about a month ago when I picked a random cable to plug my phone into the computer to run adb and it wouldn't work... too many minutes of trying to fix it with updating software versions, etc, then I tried flipping it around and it worked😠
