Yes, I am the only one confused. It's not like half the tech internet blew a gasket over how confusing and bad the renaming of the generations were. Just me. I guess I should just read the whitepapers of every standard going forward, silly me.
Huge distrust in both the company and the man himself even after leaving the company. But I must say the world got a little more dull and gray when he died.
Behind the scenes, here’s what those labels correspond to:
USB 5Gbps: USB 3.0 and 3.1 Gen 1
USB 10Gbps: USB 3.1 Gen 2, 3.2 Gen 2×1, and 3.2 Gen 1×2
USB 20Gbps: USB 3.2 Gen 2×2
USB 40Gbps: USB4’s initial version as currently shipping
That's cool. But even though it finally adds simplicity, it's still yet another renaming of the same things.
Here's a snippet from an article from 2019:
The upcoming 20 Gb/s USB 3.2 connection, which offers twice the speeds of the previous iteration, will be known as 'USB 3.2 Gen 2x2'. Its predecessor, 'USB 3.1' will be rebranded to 'USB 3.2 Gen 2', while 'USB 3.0', which ran at 5 Gb/s speeds, will be termed 'USB 3.2 Gen 1'.
Reading that I want to shoot myself, and even the latest change, which probably is a good one, drives me slightly mad due to the history of renaming everything so many times.
The dear people at the USB Forum should be rewarded with the Nobel prize in namology for their clear, superior and non-confusing naming scheme and naming process that even the nerdiest of nerds can't follow.
Sadly for us, they have the robustness of being perpetually offline due to being old and crappy. I'm sure even their internet is just standalone computers that you have to carry floppies between.
They don't pay equally to everyone. They benefit large artists more than smaller ones. If you only listen to your totally unknown friend's music on Spotify, most of your money will still go to popular artists you don't listen to, and your friend will get nothing because they're below the threshold of getting a payment. It's basically theft. Now if some of those popular artists are Spotify themselves behind the scenes, guess where your money is being funneled.
Absolutely. But I'd rather deal with charging the battery in the adapter than risking breaking my headphone cable or my phone. So for me the problem is worth moving.
Oh no... With the constant moving to the right of US politics, what if we're just going to end up with pre-Trump Republicans taking over the Democrats and the Republicans just being the clown party of hate.
I think it's a scale issue. If you look at an analog clock and a small child, one second and the child are not that different in size. But an adult is much larger than the entire clock. Therefore, a year, that also is much larger than the clock, is out of scope for the small child, whereas a grow person can barely even see a second because they're so small and you also usually get impaired vision with age.
Can someone explain why his show is popular? Granted I've only seen certain interviews from it, but he comes across as such an insufferable I don't know what. What am I missing?
