• Its actually pretty good once u understand the standards. So the way the cable works is it establishes communication between the devices and negotiates protocol. So u have USBC power delivery that negotiates power hence why my 100w laptop charger can charge everything from my phone to my vape. Then u have the USB levels so usb1 usb2 usb3 usbcss (I can’t remember them cos they keep changing them but u got different data levels) that are speeds.

      Yeah what you’re saying is what I’m saying, you’re just saying it in an upbeat way: it’s a mess of different specs, some USB C cables don’t even have the chip to negotiate power. It’s better than everything having a different proprietary connector for sure, but it’s still a mess. I guess the average consumer won’t realize they could get faster data transfer or charging so in the end all they are really happy about is using a single cable for everything. Meanwhile I have spent more money than I ever had before on cables just to have the right one for each of use cases. Ignorance is bliss I guess.
