How many standards does it take to make one-for-all actual standard?
Superconductor kept at a few Kelvin should do it. Available on any system with build in cryogenic unit. It’s part of the D port standard after all.
Cryogenics is only an optional part of the standard. You’ll need to make sure both devices support the USB D pd420.69 spec otherwise you’ll never get the full rated speed.
Stupid usbif always making critical features optional.
usb D(eez nuts)
“The massive ceramic connector and 10 inch thick cable immediatelly make obvious that the USB-D connector has been designed from the ground up to be able to power the latest generation of Graphics Card”
Sure, they can request 1.21GW, but the answer’s always “no”.
Thanks. Now I can’t get the image of a time-traveling DeLorian, with an iPhone plugged in where the MrFusion was, out of my head.
How else do we go back in time?
The OP: https://www.datapro.net/news/usb-type-d-connector-unveiled.html
Following the overwhelmingly positive response to 180° reversible connectors like USB Type C and Apple’s Lightning, USB Type D’s novel plus-shaped design can correctly be inserted in 4 different orientations, a mere 90 degrees apart.
“With our reversible Type C connector, we allowed users to blindly plug in their devices with minimal frustration. But we wanted to take it a step further. Now with USB Type D, no matter how crazy your night has been, we guarantee that you’ll be able to successfully plug in your phone before passing out.”
Remember when funny people still did April fools? I’ve not seen a good April fools hoax that doesn’t transparently reek of marketing in years
Google Japan always put out great ones, but admittedly I can’t remember how old the last one I remember is, and it could have very well been a decade ago ;_;
My favorite was when they turned Google Maps into a playable Dragon Quest map
Not necessarily April fools jokes, but the Gboard team has been designing and making silly keyboards (and publishing the schematics)
1.21 gigawatts!? 1.21 gigawatts… Great scott…
Ahem, It is pronounced “Jiga watts”
Next up: USB-E which is just a barrel plug that can be inserted 360 degrees.
But it’s a 16-ring barrel plug.
Maybe the exact size and shape of a headphone jack
Ie the headphone jack everyone went to such trouble to eradicate.
Swings and roundabouts.
And 1.2TW.
The time travelling aspect is nice, too…
“One point twenty-one jiggawatts?!”
I wonder how Doc pronounced “gif”?
He would pronounce it “yif” to piss off both sides
Great! I’ll get the dolorian and fix this whole timeline!
That’s heavy!
Great Scott!
When I say that I want you to give me “the D”, this is also what I mean.
The mouthfeel vs the current
