I don't understand why everyone assumes using a VPN means paying for a third party.

It's because that is what is advertised to them.

Also, push notifications. Most things could be done from a browser, but corpos have to have their push notifications.

It doesn't matter if you're the guy who turns every notification off and manages all those... 9/10 people won't.

You can re-teach yourself.

Touch typing is like learning different languages. Just because you learn a new one doesn't mean you forget the first.

That's a columnar stagger, not ortholinear.

I was kinda disappointed that this article didn't explain columnar stagger.

I daily drive an iris by keebio.

The consumer facing names for those transmission specs are and have always been:

  • SuperSpeed 10 Gbps

  • SuperSpeed 20 Gbps

Unless you're designing your own circuits you don't need to worry about signaling rates (ie "Gen") or lane configuration (Z×Y).

Well if there's anything I expect from the new-cycle masses, it's rationality.

Heaven forbid, we try and do better!

I guess I should just read the whitepapers of every standard going forward, silly me.

You don't have to read whitepapers to know the difference between Ethernet, CAT6 and RJ45 even if your grandpa doesn't know the difference.

It's not too much to expct the "nerds" to know the real names of PAN connections, too.

Nobody uses that...Everybody literally on the planet agrees the system is moronic

Then just be as mad as you want--that's the whole point of the news cycle anyways! Why bother learning? Congrats, chaos wins!

the history of renaming everything so many times.

Every time a new USB spec comes out the version number goes up. A new spec comes out because they add more features. The spec is a whitepaper that explains all the features. It's a "The King is dead, long live the king!" situation.

If you just never used the version numbers to mean something that they never meant (transfer speeds) then literally none of this is confusing.

They've officially renamed the transfer speeds one time after people made a big huff. here's how they changed:

  • USB SuperSpeed -> USB 5Gbps

  • USB SuperSpeed 10Gbps -> USB 10Gbps

  • USB SuperSpeed 20Gpbs -> USB 20Gbps

And If you can't follow along with that, I'm really, really sorry. There's not much I can do from a internet discussion board. XD

the whole USB 3.2 Gen 2 2x2 (hands of blue) bullshit

If you're not trying to wire your own USB port you can just use the recommended names "USB SuperSpeed 20 Gbps" or "USB 20 Gbps". You don't have to be confused by technical names if you don't want to be.

The real bullshit is between your ears--you and only you can fix it.
