I just spent a few minutes rifling through a tangle of cables to try and find the one that goes to a scanner.
It's one of those bastard USB connection flavors - the one I call "top hat" because it's shaped like a hat.
At the moment I found the right cable I suddenly understood why the last few batches of Mac laptops have gone all USB Type-C... one cable should work for anything.
We have endured USB bullshit for more than 20 years and only NOW do we have a "universal USB" solution?
So now I'm angry, because I suspect that it's still not going to be a standard anytime soon.
Not while money can be made on proprietary solutions.
