A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Good news. Can’t wait to get rid of all the archaic cables and adapters I still have left from the bad old days. Really looking forward to using my existing C cables for a very long time.

Yes, but which USB standards are supported by your USB-C cables? I've had fun troubleshooting unmarked cables that looked like any other Type-C cable, but only support USB 2.0 data rates or even only charging.

Well, maybe mark bad cables or use them for charging only? Type-c is not a data transfer standard, so usb 2.0 rates aren't something to complain about. Certified cables do have clear markings on them.
