These motherfuckers naming USB standards like Capcom named fighting games in the early 2000s. I think I'll wait to upgrade until USB4 2.0 Vs Alpha comes out.

USB3.1 Type C Gen2 2x2

The crack these engineers pass around at the naming conventions must be top fucking shelf.

Cool thumbnail, USB-IF. Why don’t my 20 exact-same-looking but wildly-different-spec USB-C cables have fucking labels like that?

Because things take time

Can we have a way to tell apart the cables first. Finding out this cable is not compatible for this thing. USB C needs a distinctive and intuitive way for the average consumer to differentiate between different types of cables

Can't wait for the USB4 2.0 Pro Max.

[–] xep@fedia.io 4 points 10 months ago

Ah, I look forward to even more extensions to the PD standard.

[–] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Yes, but what's the length/distance capabilities. I'm tired of new cables being able to handle this and that but only over a distance of 18" without being actively extended.

[–] curiousPJ@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Sigh... I just bought a usb-c cable that doesn't support display stream compression but is fine for 160w power. No where did it ever say it wasn't capable of driving multiple monitors...

[–] fuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

The cable doesn't support compression? I can understand not supporting video at all, but just with compression it doesn't work?
