  • Some basic info about USB

  • Yes, I am the only one confused. It's not like half the tech internet blew a gasket over how confusing and bad the renaming of the generations were. Just me. I guess I should just read the whitepapers of every standard going forward, silly me.

  • Behind the scenes, here’s what those labels correspond to:

    • USB 5Gbps: USB 3.0 and 3.1 Gen 1
    • USB 10Gbps: USB 3.1 Gen 2, 3.2 Gen 2×1, and 3.2 Gen 1×2
    • USB 20Gbps: USB 3.2 Gen 2×2
    • USB 40Gbps: USB4’s initial version as currently shipping

    That's cool. But even though it finally adds simplicity, it's still yet another renaming of the same things.

    Here's a snippet from an article from 2019:

    The upcoming 20 Gb/s USB 3.2 connection, which offers twice the speeds of the previous iteration, will be known as 'USB 3.2 Gen 2x2'. Its predecessor, 'USB 3.1' will be rebranded to 'USB 3.2 Gen 2', while 'USB 3.0', which ran at 5 Gb/s speeds, will be termed 'USB 3.2 Gen 1'.

    Reading that I want to shoot myself, and even the latest change, which probably is a good one, drives me slightly mad due to the history of renaming everything so many times.

  • Also this actively undermines quality in what they do, a requirement to make changes, may make people make changes that aren't needed, and even possibly changes that can be detrimental to the function.

    Indeed, but not only that. Having employees that have as their only task to spend that much time on such a mind numbing task is pretty much in itself a guarantee for poor quality work. Such work should be divided up among people who do other things as well, so that they can break the video watching up in smaller pieces to be able to remain focused and do a better job.

  • The dear people at the USB Forum should be rewarded with the Nobel prize in namology for their clear, superior and non-confusing naming scheme and naming process that even the nerdiest of nerds can't follow.

  • Sadly for us, they have the robustness of being perpetually offline due to being old and crappy. I'm sure even their internet is just standalone computers that you have to carry floppies between.

  • They don't pay equally to everyone. They benefit large artists more than smaller ones. If you only listen to your totally unknown friend's music on Spotify, most of your money will still go to popular artists you don't listen to, and your friend will get nothing because they're below the threshold of getting a payment. It's basically theft. Now if some of those popular artists are Spotify themselves behind the scenes, guess where your money is being funneled.

  • Online calendar with a widget on my phone's homescreen that shows the upcoming week's appointments, so that I constantly see them by accident. And a habit to always put important appointments in the calendar immediately when I'm made aware of them or plan them.

    And always have the calendar open in a browser on the computer.

  • Everything has context, and context matters. Your can look at any issue from different perspectives and through different lenses. From different perspectives, different aspects of the context might be of different significance, etc. As such, there could very well be a perfectly fine reason to say "stop targeting women journalists". But that doesn't, at all, mean other perspectives are invalid.

  • The sex, gender, ethnicity etc of the victim, and the perpetrator, can give very important context that can point to very important issues that needs to be dealt with. If you're alluding to the actual deaths of the victims being equally bad no matter their gender because they are all humans, then congratulations for passing the lowest threshold for human decency.

    Wanting to end femicide doesn't mean you value women more than men, it's pointing to a specific issue. It also doesn't mean that other issues doesn't matter.
