Dang, it’s almost like usb-c has half the conductors, way less precise tolerances, and ultimately has learned the most important thing they can do is be flexible (in both construction and standardization) and actually meet user needs. They obviously werent prepared for the unfathomable stupidity of people who can’t be expected to keep track of their cable capabilities, but they fixed that with new branding standards.
don’t be too arrogant and attribute it to stupidity. People have neither the time nor money to play whac-a-mole with the several thousand permutations of wattages, USB-C versions and port capabilities. Ignoring even quality inconsistencies with the same permutation of cable from the same manufacturer between two cables, it’s a nightmare.
Man, if only it was possible to know ahead of time what kind of standard the cable you want to buy supports. I wouldn’t be so annoyed if it wasn’t basically lottery, since they can put whatever wording they like on what’s basically a USB2.0 cable and have no repercussions whatsoever.
Dang… Are you seeing this USB-C?
