I own this cable. You literally put the cable in the left side at an orientation that has the display facing upwards. I feel like I'm missing something!
It's bidirectional so you can just twist the cable so the display is facing up..
Looks like two definitions of up are being discussed..
- upside down the display is pointing towards the table (useless) - which you have a solution for
- upside down, the display is visible, but the text is rotated 180° (as people would say when a calculator is upside down) - you cannot twist your way out of this except facing the computer away from you (99=66, 70=0L 5537=LESS etc)
I can read the numbers upside down, I just don't want to and I find it silly that these manufacturers took several years to notice and decide to fix a basic fit-and-finish issue that probably affected 90% of their customer base. Like, how on Earth was this not caught during the prototype phase?
