@chockenberry We tried a cable like that for our car but attaching the adapters can get frustrating quick. We’ve been loving this pricey cable from Native Union: https://www.nativeunion.com/products/belt-cable-duo
No adapter! They have a clever little sliding metal tab to prevent anyone from accidentally using both ends at once, which means each side is fully data+power capable.
Please stop using “mom” as an example of an unsophisticated user of technology. This reinforces harmful stereotypes.
Instead, I suggest using “congressperson”.
I spend quite some time on researching "gendered" connectors and how to make their names more inclusive. My thoughts are summarized in this blog post: https://ca.rstenpresser.de/blag/2022/12/gendered-connectors-in-electronics/
TL:DR; lets use more inclusive language! It also solves some ambiguity with the existing names. Changes will be applied to the official #KiCad library soon. I hope to get this into the v7 release.
