Do you miss the old days where everything had its place and you could tell what is or isn't plugged in?

No, only USB-C should exist. For displays and audio, too.

Do you know how expensive it would be to have a chipset that interfaces a dozen USB-C ports in different data stream configurations?

Not expensive at all, it requires no R&D. All the blocks exist already, logic is synthesized automatically, silicon costs 25 cents per chip and the only costly thing will be masks for litography, prototypes and testing, which every company that makes chips like that can afford. It is an engineering task of type "just sit down and do this", no research required.

I don't.

But I wish the retards that designed USB had done something different.

Nigger, why do you have a modem jack? That's why God gave us a fucking serial port. Which you only have one of, because you're 23 years old.

I do miss LPT1 tho.

Fantastic, so you settled the price increase and just need to program the whole thing.
But first, gotta make sure to supply 100W outputs at all ports at the same time.

It doesn't have to output 100W on each port, available power is negotiated with device and chipset can just say that it can only give out 5W if it knows that it can't handle things. Power can also be delivered not by the chip itself, but externally, only ground has to be common. I mean, we land goddamn rockets on automated barges, I'm pretty sure that settling on a universal port is just a matter of time, unless some big retard with a lot of money will decide to go against the grain and make AppleUSB or some other dumb shit.

It's simple, I see USB-C port, I expect fully functioning USB-C port.
If we're going to start saying "X purpose only", might as well make specialised ports.

Fpbp

You'll just have to personally handle that "USB POWER GRID CAPACITY EXCEEDED: DEVICE REQUESTED 100W OUT OF 20W AVAILABLE, SETTLING AT 20W" message in your system log.

From a user perspective, all I know and care about is that my galaxy s20 is charging at 1% per minute instead of 4%, which is a problem.

They're trolls. Why else would USB 2.0 Full Speed == USB 1.1 or USB 3.1gen1 = USB 3.0

Yeah, your second or third galaxy s20 will charge slower and you'll see "USB POWER GRID CAPACITY EXCEEDED: DEVICE REQUESTED 100W OUT OF 20W AVAILABLE, SETTLING AT 20W" message, so it's not a problem.

Why is USB a goddamn charging point? Did somebody read "5V" and make some wild-ass assumptions?

No

Time to go beat my wife and kids

Fpbp

>No two bits of copper and fiber optic interface to end all interfaces
HURRY THE FUCK UP

Optic is pretty fragile. The one that is not pretty fragile is also not pretty fast and is used mostly to transfer audio.

no. I welcome the day when there is only 1 cable left for everything, including power. the only step after that will be wireless energy transfer

>using 30awg usb cable for 3A charging

one cable is not so good

Wireless charging today works perfectly. I only use a cable if I'm in a hurry and need to get to 40% battery fast. Future will most likely be 100% wireless for the average person, cables will be only for big data transfers that only professionals do.

no

fuck that

the type of wireless charging I was thinking about wasn't the gimmicky shit we have today. I'm thinking more like wifi hotspot charging. obviously this is way in the future, singularity level even, but it is the only logical step after switching to a "1 cable for everything" solution.

I'm not thinking about usb type c cables we have today. think about the type of cable we will have 10 years after type c becomes the standard.

blame cellphone manufacturers
They're mostly the guys that thought up of using the USB ports as a charging port. This used to be reasonable since phones back then only needed around the same current as what a USB port is specced to provide.

Old days? Just like today for me.

This.
