some additional info about USB. If your cable/connector is old, idk how old is requred, the names and standards are actually completely different now than they used to be, but they're adopted into the new standards, so you have to keep this in mind when trying to recognize this stuff.

thanks USB forum, you guys are the best :)

Why not label the ports and cables with:

  • 10Gb/s
  • 2.1Amps
  • 1080p at 60hz

It's future proof and doesn't need a decoder manual other than basic literacy. It can be in whatever language the fucking keyboard is. If you want to be redundant but even more clear:

  • Universal Serial Bus -> (this hole right here)
  • Speed: 40Gb/s
  • Power: 2.4Amps
  • Audio/Video: 4K at 120Hz or 8K at 30Hz

Why use more words when less is easier.

Fewer. Sorry, pet peeve of mine. If you can count the thing, it's fewer, not less.

SuperSpeed is not a "legacy" name.

It's the name of a transfer rate.

I do not trust the maker of this infographic if they cannot understand some basic facts.
