Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.

"I'll just use my laptop charger to charge my Xbox controller" would have been a baffling sentence in 2005 (lemmy.world)

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.
