Type a is great for things that stay in place for long periods of time, 3.5mm headphone jack is good and simple. Rj45 is a great connector for it's purpose
USB-C is amazing for portable devices, or connectors that are inserted/removed often and require high bandwidth or power delivery

Step 1: Put it in wrong. Step 2: Put it in…wrong!?
Step 3: Magically it works.

I curse the designers of the USB-A standard to not make it flippable just to save a few cents during manufacturing.
Think of the collective time humanity wasted doing the flips.

If its a horizontal port the holes should face up. According to the specs at least

And the device/cable being plugged in should (if present) have the USB symbol facing upwards

Eh, usb-c is great, but not for everything.

Honestly, I’m hoping it would replace all peripherals (keyboard to monitor) but monitor might be a long way from happening.

I have currently everything on usb-c on laptop, mainly since I'm using the built-in dock on display, and I love it.
On desktop though I'm happy with what it got, since I'm never messing with those cables

it's seriously not that hard, just take a few minutes to remember the direction of your computers' ports
