Paid Ad much?

Why would you think this is a paid ad?
I reported on NXP's press release, which is linked as the source.

About USB2 (non-reversible):

Reach behind PC. Insert USB cable... Nope. Reverse... Nope. Try again (don't want to break something...) Nope... pull out PC to be sure. Look closely at connector and cable... Ahhh, there you go.

About USB3 Type C: (reversible):

Reach behind PC. Insert cable.

(I should have just said "USB non-reversible" since USB3 has the same dual-sided connector it's only Type C variant I believe that is reversible)

Really nice! Maybe soon it'll be possible to charge a device using a solar panel directly, without any risk of frying it!
