USB was supposed to rule them all but it’s now a mess of standards sharing the same connector. Different speeds, voltage, charging protocols, alt modes, even the number of pins used is variable… For those asking, the thing is available on Kickstarter

    I’m not sure if there’s supposed to be a picture or video but the media doesn’t load for me (both on web and iOS voyager app).

    How is this different from existing USB cable testers available from places like Amazon and AliExpress? In reading the description I didn’t see anything that set it apart

      Loads for me. It is a video of a small device with a screen. Both ends of a usb-c cable are connected to the device and the screen shows the max power, max data speeds and other information about the cable.

      Interesting, I just uploaded the .mp4 directly to lemmy and assumed this to be working. How else would you share a gif/short video?

        No idea. As much as I love lemmy I’m not exactly shocked that directly uploaded media isn’t seamless. I thought it was my lemmy client, but it didn’t load when I checked from the web, either.

          Here in sync. I clicked the preview in a repost and it didnlt load.

          Clicked through to the original post and it loaded… It took about a minute and a half to load though.

          But on Jerboa (also Android) it doesn’t work the same seamles way: It’s shown as a link and I can tap it and open it in Firefox and it will play fine in there.

          On Raccoon on Android from within EU it works. Hope that helps you narrow down the problem.

      Clicking the link in the text works for me. Clicking the media for the post does not work for me.
