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
Why? do you think it’s gonna hack your wire or something?
Because there’s a high amount of scams on kickstarter that never deliver. Whereas crowdsupply has a 100% delivery rate
Not even necessarily scams. I backed the CHIP sbc by nextthingco back in the day and it turned out fine. Then I backed their next project and they got tied up with a lawsuit over the name and wound up bankrupt.
