Gregory's Server@benno I'm reminded of the fact that USB C is directional so you could have a drive return different data depending on the orientation.

@valentinegb @baishen https://hackaday.com/2021/03/22/cursed-usb-c-when-plug-orientation-matters/ is a fun trick. > although the USB-C plug has only a single pair of data lines (D+/-) for USB 2.0 connectivity, the receptor duplicates these on either side of its pins, leading out two pairs of D+/- lines. Normally you would connect the matching lines in these pairs together to ensure consistent behavior no matter the plug orientation, but you don’t have to.  @stibbons @valentinegb @baishen It's not a bug, it's a feature! You could build a USB flash drive that returns different data depending on orientation and protocol/speed (2.0/3.0) 😹 |
@baishen Oh no way, really?
