yeah the apple usb-c cables that came in the box for charging before they were magsafe are all usb2. but of course not even all usb3 usb-c cables can deliver the 140W you need to charge an intel 16". so usb is all hosed forever and – i've said this before and i will continue to scream it until it happens – if we're going to standardise around a single connector and just put whatever through it, it should be a 6.35mm (¼") jack. it's time tested, can carry enough electricity to fry a choir, is obvious when you have multiple rings on there so at least you have a chance of getting the right cable, it's indestructible, there's already a zillion of them, you can insert them from *any* angle, not just 2, they are satisfying, very cyberpunk and cool. and yes there are lots of devices that are thinner than 6.35mm but guess what there are lots of options - make them thicker - make a pop-out panel that opens at an angle - do a bulge - use magnets and indents to connect to it on one side only, that would look sick - make like a sphincter that goes all the way through the device, capturing the ring tip, idk, also would look pretty great

sounds like usb-c is really flexible and useful in a lot of different situations standardising the connector and nothing else at all was genius really

on one hand, 1/8 - 1/4" connectors are bad because you'll always momentarily short the tip and rings to ground on insertion. On the other, we can easily control power delivery and such these days to hold off on delivering until a little handshake happens

Sagebrush posted:The wackest rear end poo poo to me is that -- if I did the math right -- the individual bits in a 10gbps cable are 3 centimeters apart. A 3 meter cable operating at maximum speed is storing about 1 kilobit of data in a delay line. you might enjoy this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcJSW7Rprio
