    When USB-C-compliant devices are connected, they have to negotiate which side is upstream and which is downstream. So yes, they’re hermaphroditic, just like snails.

    In contrast, the non-compliant USB A-to-A cable that Ugreen uses with its own devices is closer to hyenas. If you know, you know… and don’t you wish you didn’t.
