      This isn’t that. It’s relabeling the existing USB standards in a way that actually makes sense finally.

        Yeah, but the old labels won’t just magically disappear. Tech folks might know how to handle it but for everyone else it will be just more of the same. As far as they care for labeling to begin with.

          I think this time the manufacturers will be pretty quick at adopting the new branding; if there’s two competing devices next to each other, one marked with “USB 3.2 Gen 2x2”, which no one understands, and other one with “USB 20Gbps” I think the latter will sell more.

          I mean… yeah? They’re not gonna break into your house and emboss new symbols on cables you already own.

          You may as well be advocating against better food packaging labels because stuff you’ve bought already won’t benefit from it.

            Can i not bitch about how shit things have been? Or that these fixes shouldn’t even be necessary because they could have just not fucked it up in the first place?
