I wished they’d tidy up the clusterfuck that’s USB versions. Especially in combination with thunderbolt. Holy…

Do you mean to say it’s not perfectly logical that USB 3.0, USB 3.1 Gen 1, and USB 3.2 Gen 1 are all actually the same version? I wish I could travel back in time to the meeting where that was proposed and slap the person in the face until they realized the error of their ways.

USB 3.1 Gen 1 is the same as USB 3.0. It’s like they’re trying to foster scam products. I would genuinely like to know how this bullshit naming scheme came into existence if anyone reading this happens to know.
