> USB-C extension cables are technically against the spec, but that doesn't mean you can't buy them and all kinds of other nonsensical cables and connectors. I have one that only works in certain orientations, which is just so distressing and the opposite of what USB-C was supposed to be, but it'll do to give us power while I poke that SWIO pin with a probe
I loled so much there!!
Funny parts aside, that's a wonderful design!
I wonder if it would be possible to do the same but with a small SoC running Linux, with wifi and/or bluetooth, a LED and a buzzer so a bit like a smaller and simpler Pi Zero W that would fit inside a regular USB A? (like sandisk thumbdrive or some bluetooth dongles)
Oh and it would use usb-gadget to enumerate as a USB serial so you could either connect to it with picocom to actuate the LED and buzzer with AT commands OR through bluetooth SPP or ping!
Some cheap manufacturers make USB-C cables (and ports) that only wire up the one side of the connector, because, hey, we only need USB 2 right, defeating the whole point with the connector.

Then you could have a wireless orchestra!
