The USB specification actually specifies how the USB-A ports should be oriented. But PinePower 120W does not follow this (at least now). So it would be really nice to fix it in the next revision of PCB and rotate the ports by 180 degrees ;-)
In early days of USB, manufacturers of devices were using both correct and incorrect orientations. So it was really difficult to plug in the cables for the first time. Fortunately, I have not seen a device with the wrong orientation in last few years. So I was able to look like a "real wizard" by always connecting USBs on the first try :-) Well at least until today, when I received PinePower 120W and my OCD kicked in.
I did not find any mention of this issue anywhere, so starting new thread... Sorry if this is already known thing.
