    Had a pre-coffee idea this morning: auto-ejecting USB ports.

    Device all charged up? Port automatically ejects the cable.

    Malware on thumb drive? Host spits it out.

    Files all copied successfully? Ptoooie!

        @jgilbert Have you encountered some of those USB-A (and to a lesser degree USB-C) sockets on some cheaper computers? They are so badly made that it takes pliers to grab the USB plug (male) device to get enough grip to pull it out.

          Suggested sound effect for that USB ejection:

          " 'Scuse me while I whip this out" (from #MelBrooks #BlazingSaddles ).

              @jgilbert with enough ejection force you could use it as a short range communication protocol
