I'm also happy we have a single connector but, n=1, I have a couple things that will not work with all cables.
I have no idea why, nor have I bothered to find out, I just marked the cables they came with (which are USB-A to USB-C) same as GP did.
- mrheosuper 2mo ago>I have no idea why, nor have I bothered to find out The reason is simple; your device violated the USB-C spec by saving $0.0000002 of BOM cost
- hulitu 2mo ago> your device violated the USB-C spec I heard there are more than one USB-C specs.
- stouset 2mo agoUSB-C is a physical connector layout. The full cable that is between the two connector ends has an enormous matrix of specifications it can support. There are variations of bandwidth, power delivery (or not), Thunderbolt versions (or not), DisplayPort versions (or not) and other things I’m forgetting. A cable that supports all of these things costs like $70+. Between two devices, the cable, and enormously complicated interop between variations of the supported standards, there are myriad ways for devices to fail to work together.
- mrheosuper 2mo agoIm not talking about the cable. Im talking about whatever the device Parent was mentioning, they violate the spec, that's why they only work with usb a-c cable
