iPhone 15 is coming next month, and multiple rumors suggest Apple will finally switch from its proprietary Lightning connector to…
When does USB-D come out?
When they need a new standard to replace all the disparate current ones.
MBS less evil than apple?
So far, nothing I’ve ever owned has had a C connector, I have two computers with c ports, but nothing to plug in to them. Also, does the thunderbolt look like the USBc? If you plug in a thunderbolt device into a USBc, does it work or burn out the port?
Edit: why did this get only 18 downvotes?
Just about everything except truly basement-tier China tech sitting in warehouses has C now so you’ll soon be glad to have the ports.
USB C is a form factor (pretty little reversible oval cable). Thunderbolt is a protocol and yes it uses USB C for the form factor. Other protocols on USB C cabling include 2.0 (ancient speed, used for charging only these days), 3.1 (old speed) 3.2 (slightly old but also not, it’s weird, and most common nowadays), DisplayPort (lovely modern video standard), and USB4 (which is newest and fast, but not quite as fast as TB). Decent rule of thumb is USB4 will always be one step behind Thunderbolt in speed (currently ~80gbps vs 40gbps in USB4). The cable will work at the fastest speed permitted by both devices. If they both have TB, then TB speed and power. If only one is TB, it’ll go at USB speed over yes the same cable because…
Lastly, any proper spec cable will negotiate the best, safest power transfer between chargers and devices. So just don’t buy complete junk, read a couple reviews, you’ll almost certainly be fine.
These laws are fine until something better than c comes out. Then we have to wait for laws to be updated to make changes. We all know how slow government moves.
That kind of things are not wrote as laws. What they usually do, is wrote a law creating a regulatory body, or given the power to an existing one, that can determine how it works. So, when new technologies come around, the regulator just need to update the regulations without the need of a new law.
Watch America have Elon develop a new USB that only Americans use. (But really it’s just a USB-c that looks like weird sci-fi.)
This article has nothing to do with the country or person you mentioned…
…no shit Post Nazi. Why can’t people mention USA, or EU or whatever country?
People are talking about USB c and countries… That’s on topic… That’s ITT.
So what’s your issue?
Can you go back to reddit?
What’s your problem?
You seem to be creating things to be angry about and then get upset when others are not.
