      Now the EU needs to make it a legal requirement that every cable sold includes an engraving of the speed and watts on both ends.

      The fact this dogshit continued for so long is unforgivable. Capitalism is most efficient my ass. It’s like the USB specs naming convention was outsourced to the dumbest, most illiterate engineers alive.

      On second thought, the profit motive indicates the naming convention was probably done to intentionally create confusion and sell more cables.
