First I've every heard of this term. Now I fear I will use this unknowingly. I hope it doesn't slip out in conversation at work. Ugh.

"Damn this is a Virgin USB port"

Just had one today, new Dell Laptop.

Depend on how old/used the device is you are plugging in as well.  Not just the port itself.   A used usb cable/drive tends to have wear patterns over time.

Adjective 2) Not yet, touched, used or exploited. The only thing that gives it away, is because it's hard to plug a USB device into the port due to the tight fit. I don't know why that's creepy or sick.

probably because most people equate a female virgin with the term "tight" now days...

In this context ( ' goes in really tight' ) there are clear sexual connotations regarding the female and her anatomy, what with ports being referred to as either male or female. Virgin has contemporarily referred to a complete absence of sexual activity.

 

e.g. Do you call unused flash drives virgins ? No ?

What's going to be really funny is when you come across a brand-new computer and plug in a flash drive into its port for the first time and think of this thread 😄 ... you'll be like...Well....

 

As far as getting creeped out by the phrase. I guess I don't get creeped out by much.

True, but the usb on a flash drive is the male end and the port is the female, and the fact of the matter is the female port is the tight one. It's just the way it is. Do I call the Male virgin, no, the only thing that brings to my attention it's never been used before is usb devices goes in tight into the port. otherwise I probably wouldn't even notice.

    • Windows 95 offered the ability to add and edit the right click menus, on a per file type basis. This feature seems to be missing in the new file explorer. Are they bringing it back as a "new" feature?
    • It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.
    • What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
    • Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
    • Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.
