i think the GP was talking about wired peripherals that plug into usb-a ports on the computer side, not wireless mice/keyboards which use usb-c to charge

my current wireless mouse/wired keyboard have usb-c on the peripheral end but I still use usb-a to connect them to the computer

These days it's common for the wire to not be fixed in. So it's just a usb-c port on the keyboard and you can use whatever cable you want.

I'm still confused with the term GP. Shouldn't it be OP?

[abdullahkhalids]

GP means grandparent. It refers to the comment exactly two up.

Ex. From my comment, GP is the comment by pynappo, starting with "i think the GP was talking... "

Similarly, you can have GGP for great-grand parent, etc.

OP refers either to the starter of the post or the top level comment.

The OP would be the geenspun.com post or cute_boi, depending on context. The grandparent, in this case, is aslilac.

It's always GP in this subreddit.
