cycle of life
- jstimpfle 8y ago927 is also the number of times I have seen that comic linked here.
- ryzvonusef 8y agoSorry, it's just that...well this is the fact of life, isn't it? Technologists ALL want standardization...but can't agree with themselves...and us consumers have to suffer. It was true then, when this comic was released (I still have a USB mini cable somewhere), and it's true now. Instead of trying for ONE universal standard... why not try for a "few" tiers of standards? That way instead of a zillion variations of USB-C, we have at most... five or six, perhaps.
- lopmotr 8y agoNo need for comics. This is literally the documentation for the .PLY mesh format: "The way out of this morass of formats is to create a single file format that is both flexible enough to anticipate future needs and that is simple enough so as not to drive away potential users." and now it really is just one more format to have to deal with.
- Dylan16807 8y agoI'm pretty sure that wasn't the goal. USB needed a compact, robust port that also supported 3.0 speeds. Nothing else could fill that role, so they made a new port spec.
