minus-squareJohanno@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up16·10 days agoI am guessing that they are referring to the situation, that while all usb-c can be connected to each other you can have very different ones. Fast data transfer and slow. 10 watt and 100 watt and so on
minus-squaredefiance@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up10arrow-down1·10 days agoFair enough, but isnt most of that circumvented by getting good cables ? Tbh USB-C was a godsend I bought in early but I prefer having to grapple wether my cables are up to par than if I have a fitting one at all :D
minus-squareJohanno@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up17·10 days agoI find the current situation much better than having 33 usb standards and a cable for each and 99 adapters… So yes it is better. Every usbc cable will work (also I think there are less “power only” cables now)
