On the internet, nobody knows you are Australian.

To tell you the truth, I don’t know who I am either. Somebody sincere, perhaps.

But if you ever read this one day, I hope that you are as proud of me, as I am of the person I imagined you to be.

    Since everyone here seems so confused by USB naming schemes, a short primer:

    USB 3.0, 3.1, 3.2, and USB4 are the major and minor revision number of the standard. You don’t have to worry about it if you are not implementing it yourself.

    The Gen number indicates the supported transfer speed, Gen 1 is 5Gbps, Gen 2 is 10, Gen 3 is 20, regardless of the spec revision.

    (USB 2.0 is 480mbps)

    Dual lane (Gen ?x2) means you take the speed of the Gen number and multiply it by 2.

    The only major difference between USB 3 and 4 is that USB4 uses Type C plug only, whereas USB 3 can use a variety of connectors.

    All USB-PD compliant cables support up to 100w of power delivery, only cables labeled as EPR (extended power range) supports up to 240w of power.

    Nintendo’s USB-C on the Switch is standard compliant, but modified in a way to allow for smooth plugging into their own docks, which requires a much tighter tolerance.

    Cheap third party docks cannot meet the tolerance required for smooth plugging, and the dock that was tested was not even PD compliant but tried to implement the handshake for high power in software instead, which was what caused the bricking of the Switch.

    If you are ever in LA, you should take a drive around SpaceX campus and see the “Hyperloop prototype” they built outside(don’t get out of the car, Hawthorne is a run down industrial zone and not the safest place)

    There is nothing that shatters the illusion of Musk’s genius faster than seeing that sad, short gas pipeline looking thing on an run down street next to their overflowing employee garage.
