A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
All devices now have chips that do a handshake with the charger, exchanging information about supported standards and charging using the best common option. So I charge my prohe with a 90W laptop charger, even when it is unable to use the whole wattage
The point is that it is unclear which USB C can do what.
What's the solution here though? I am 100% unwilling to go back to non-compatible and separate chargers for electronics where not completely necessary. It's awesome taking only my laptop charger with me and being able to charge all devices optimally with it.
We used to have time to eat serial, but now everything has to catch the bus.
I spent two hours today explaining the difference between USBC plugs meaning USB 3 — USB 3.1, USB 3.2, and thunderbolt 4,and the differences between all of that, and how they would affect the performance when my buddy was shopping for an external drive bay enclosure. (You bought a server with TB4 ports, get that TB4 enclosure! Those drives are set up in parallel, so let’s eat that speed!)
I literally had to explain the differences to him for two hours. Not because he was stupid, but because it’s absurdly complicated.
That's right, it goes in the USB-C hole!
I still use toslink. How else am I supposed to get audio to my DAC?
usbc 😅
It has USB-B, toslink, and coax. Coax and toslink can't be used simultaneously. I use USB to connect to my PC and I have an HDMI audio extractor pass through thingey that has toslink so I can use my PS5 with my DAC.
Use toslink for all. Does the USB connection to your PC and/or HDMI extractor work with digital signals like Dolby whatever?
Hooray for standards!
I hated DVI more than I hated VGA, somehow a pin will eventually bend.
You haven't known hate for a display connector until you have experienced the DMS-59:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMS-59
Same size as a DVI connector, double the ammount of pins, with twice or thrice the weight hanging off the end
I remember that bastard.
Remember, I have seen those things out in wild as recently as 5 years ago.
Wait until they encounter the final boss
I'm always impressed that they got this wrong even with USB-C. Here's hoping that they finally make USB-D round so "orientation" does not matter.
what if usb-d is round but the orientation DOES matter?
I hate you. I like how you think, and I'll love to see the trolling PoC demonstration, and we will be watching your career with great interest, but I hate you. XD
Every interaction I've ever had with display port has resulted in me rage quitting. Did it ever do anything?
Are you referring to DP interfacing through UBS-C?
Wait... when did you ever need to turn off your PC before you can unplug your mouse or keyboard? Did people genuinely used to need to do this? When? Why?
Yes, PS/2 devices can't be hotplugged.
