The U in USB stands for Universal. Doing everything is explicit in the name itself. And compared to how we connected things 15 years ago it's certainly master of all.
- fragmede 3y agoI have a cable. It's got USB-C plugs on both ends. What can it do? Power? How much? Data? How much? Alternate mode? How long is it? How flexible is it? Can I charge my car with it? Use it to connect my Cisco router to my Juniper router in my IPX? What does the cable itself report it is capable of, vs what is it actually capable of? Don't get me wrong, I'm super happy that we're standardizing on something. I, too, have that box of old chargers "just in case" I have something that matches. I'm so happy that most of the laptops around me can be charged over usb-c. But they fucked up parts of implementation of it; it's jack of all trades, master of none.
