Comment on USB-C naming to somehow get worse with USB4 Version 2.0parent

Comments

Yeah, it's chaotic, but I love this chaos. Good chaos. Lots of possibilities chaos.

I disagree. Having to buy 5 cables (and return 4 of them) just to figure out which one supports the USB 4 spec correctly and doesn't have weird issues with Thunderbolt or DisplayPort is annoying. I shouldn't need to be an electrical engineer just to figure out whether it will work with a Thunderbolt hub, or deliver adequate speeds or display resolutions...

Cannot agree more. I returned 3 USB-C docks in a row. It didn't matter cheap or expensive, none worked fully as expected.
