USB should have been crimpable.

I want to crimp my own USB cables, dang it. I need them to be a specific length!

@foone USB over 1/4" TRRS jacks would mean no more orientation issues.

@th still a pain to make cables, though

@th @foone I mean, isn't that what the ipod nano and shuffle eventually did

@th @foone Properly reproduce USB and go for a mix of 6.35 mm and 3.5 mm and 2.5 mm TRRS…

(Oh, and a few legacy discrete 4 mm banana connectors for niche applications)
