- dvh 10y agoUSB type C is identical from both sides, if we remove one side, it could be half thinner /s
- gonvaled 10y agoAnd then one of the biggest selling points of USB type C is moot - namely its longitudinal symmetry, which allows to plug it in without caring about orientation.
- okket 10y ago<meme>That's the joke.</meme>
- gonvaled 10y agoWell, that was a practical joke for over 5 years with USB 2, and I do not find it so funny when plugging in my phone to the charger half sleep at 3 o'clock in the morning.
- semi-extrinsic 10y agoActually, USB 2 is nice in one way, it makes it easier to explain half-spin particles in quantum mechanics. "Just like plugging in USB, you have to rotate more than 360° to get back to where you started."
- chriswarbo 10y agoAfter the umpteenth time of hearing that joke, it's still not funny, and it still makes half-integer spin seem more mysterious. A much better analogy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJRtxTyROOU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJRtxTyROOU
- vog 10y agoNo, the next gen phones will need twice the power anyway, so no change in size. They will probably have real-time rendered 3D graphics in the user interface, and more expensive signal processing of their sensors, because of higher resolution of the sensors (especially regarding the camera resolution). And more sensors in total. /s
- Retr0spectrum 10y ago> They will probably have real-time rendered 3D graphics in the user interface They already do.
- willvarfar 10y agoTrue anecdote from the early smartphone days: we were always having problems with rendering performance, but the next platform promised to have 4x faster CPU. Later, it sunk in that the new screen had 5x as many pixels...
