There should be a way to make it simpler.

Idk, something like "for USB 4 you NEED all of these".

Or maybe USB 4 with levels like bronze, silver, etc.

Or make displaying data rate, display and charging capabilities all mandatory on all ports...

I'm not sure what, but "it's a USB port; look in the manual and if you're lucky you might learn what it does exactly" ain't it.

Interesting. I didn't know. Maybe my glasses will explode one of these days.

Although as long as it doesn't turn into tiny knives that I'll still occasionally find under my feet months later, I wouldn't mind much.

I'd be worried about microwave compatibility, as well as a metallic taste in my water. How are things, really?

For glassware, try buying tempered glass. It's more resistant, but most importantly, when it breaks, it tends to break into cubes rather than into a million little sharp knives.

Advertisements should always say what the thing is and what it does.

Disney + show ads on YouTube are like, two dialogue lines, and then "Stream now on Disney Plus". Only thing more annoying than an ad is an ad where you don't even understand what the hell they were trying to sell you.

Would you allow long dates?

For example, Jan. 11, 2022, or 7 September 2010.

Most sewn tags I don't have much of an issue with, since I can remove them if they're annoying.

But some, often the most annoying ones, are sewn with the same thread as the garment itself, meaning you will unravel the garment if you try to take it off. Argh.

But what about pedestrians, cyclists, etc.?

My trick is printer paper! 1 layer suffices for most LEDs, but the most intense ones need 2.

With uhm ... Some sort of fake poop?

Movies (and even most video games) make me so angry with that kind of stuff. You want an artificially tailored experience that only works with a zillion-dollar sound system? Fine, you can make it an optional soundtrack that only kicks in with those systems. But the default audio mix needs to be intelligible even on my phone's speakers.

Video games are annoying because often you can't hear anything over the explosions music during the opening cutscenes, but at least you CAN fix it in the settings. Movies, yeesh, you have to rely on your TV's crap postprocessing.

The USB standards are just... Comically overcomplicated. And almost everything about it is optional. They need a full revamp, making it simpler and mandatory on all future ports, devices and cables.

But they won't do that, will they.
