Shitty USB-C is incredible. I have some docks/SD-card reader devices that somehow only work when plugged in with side A facing up despite the port allowing plugging in either way.

That's because they cheap out and only wire up one side (apparently). I have a few like that too.

There’s also single side failure modes of some type. I have devices that work on both sides for months.. until they don’t.
