Question

Did you know? USB was developed in 1996 by a group of Intel, Microsoft, IBM, Compaq and others to solve the chaos of computer connectors. The irony: the 1.0 plug type is asymmetric — you always need 3 attempts before it fits. USB-C (2014) finally fixed that.

USB werd in 1996 door een groep van Intel, Microsoft, IBM, Compaq en anderen ontwikkeld om de chaos van computer-aansluitingen op te lossen. De ironie: het 1.0 stekkertype is asymmetrisch — je moet altijd 3× proberen voor het past. USB-C (2014) loste dat eindelijk op.
