@kobi_lacroix if brain 1 was so bad, why is there no--
-F

@curls usb c is too small to have crimp contacts though so they'll be soldered, but i guess it's the same idea
-F

@curls i don't know about USB cables specifically but the ones we'v emade it's just what orientation you hold the connector when you crimp it on
-F

@curls yeah like i said you usually expect 0° unless there's some reason for it not to be, and when there is some reason for it not to be it's usually 90°, 180°, or 270°

i mean it doesn't really impact function or anything, it just looks kinda sloppy on a cable short enough for it to be noticeable

i expect that it wouldn't matter at all on cables more than a couple feet long, though
-F

@distressedegg why do we keep seeing people using emoji in place of letters and numbers lately?
-F

@curls it's almost always a multiple of 90° and for an adapter like this i would expect it to be 0° (or 180° which are equivalent in this case)

the fact that it's so misaligned is a sign of somewhat poor quality but it works so eh
-F

@curls clocking is the term for the rotational alignment of connectors on a cable relative to each other, in this particular case it's like 60° which is a really weird number and not good -F

oh no the clocking on this
-F

this usb c to a adapter we just went out to get says "designed for mac, ipad, and other usb-c devices"

since when did ipads have usb on them? i thought apple hated usb
-F

@owashii@plush.city also if they had a formula it still would have been fine to depart from it, something being different from the norm doesn't make it bad
-F

@owashii@plush.city a lot of people do insist that
-F

@socks easy as defined by a toxic gamer
-F

@bj oh this one's really good! i like them both quite a lot
-F

also we don't have a keyboard we can connect to the steam deck, which is annoying

we just have the one usb keyboard and it's usb type a, which the deck has no ports of
-F

@heatherhorns nickel is also named after trickster spirits
-F

apparently it just runs arch which
- great, the notoriously arcane and hard to maintain linux distribution
- but also it looks like epsxe and pcsx are both available for it as pre-packaged, uh, packages

-F

we need to get some emulators installed on our steam deck, with the disappointment of the recent chrono cross remaster being just a bad emulator on the original i want to just play the original

we *have* the psx disc but it'd be nice to play on a portable system

and no we are not getting one of those weird psone screens
