Maybe 2 people who expect to get Alt-DP working with USB 2.0 only cable. For others, things will just work, except not at the max capacity/performance.

- oefrha 3y ago> except not at the max capacity/performance That except is doing a lot of work. Picking up a USB-C cable only to find out it charges slower than the device burns battery, or only capable of transferring data at sub USB 2.0 speed when I need to transfer a lot of data are both real world scenarios I have encountered multiple times. Even got a charging cable for >400GB data transfer at an Apple Store Genius Bar once.
- seba_dos1 3y ago> Picking up a USB-C cable only to find out it charges slower than the device burns battery You have to try hard for that, as any compliant cable is able to pass 60W, which is what I can comfortably charge my laptop with. You only need e-markers for going higher than that, which is perfectly reasonable as that's plenty of power already. Cables with no CC lines cannot be called "USB-C cables". They're not complaint at all. They're just broken, and it's no surprise that broken hardware fails to work as expected.
