  Here’s an idea, all C cables supporting any level of PD must have the specs stamped on both plugs.

    I’m down with it, but it’s a lot

    Wattage/transferspeed/displayport/thunderbolt/PD

    Even the current icons don’t tell you more than speed these days

      USB 4 Version 2.0

      Oh for fuck’s sake. So that’s newer and has more bandwidth than USB4 gen2 and gen3, right?

      At least we got away from the USB 3.x where 3.0 and 3.2 Gen 1x1 were the same thing, despite 3.0 and 3.2 having a 9 year gap between them so you kinda expected 3.2 to be faster, but it was only faster if it was an x2 flavor, so 3.2 gen 1x2 was the faster version (extra lane for data) of 3.0 and 3.2 gen 2x2 was the faster version of 3.1 I guess?

      Whoever at USB-IF is in charge of this versioning needs to take a long walk off a short pier.

      That is a lot of space for very little info, that means nothing to anyone who doesnt already know what th codes mean. U4.2.40 would be just as useful.
