Fun fact: part of the licensing agreement to use USB, is to have the usb symbol on top of the connector. So unless you're using a cheap unlicensed cable, look for the symbol facing up and you'll always be correct
After all this time I'm not going to trust a decoration.
When I'm connecting an USB cable horizontally I always think "hol up". So I always remember to plug it with the hole up.
When I'm connecting it vertically I think "hold right". So I know that if I want to hold it right, I have to put the hole right.
Has worked for me so far.
EDIT: Though "left" and "right" are more vague compared to "up" and "down", so connecting vertically assumes a specific "mental point of view". I'm just using one that's intuitive for me, but it might not work for everyone.
