LOL. Why don't you understand superduperspeed USB 3.4.6 2x2x6? It's so eeeasy.

And, coming soon to an Amazon app near you:

(Pack of 3) USB4 Thunderbolt 4, 98 ft / 30m, 240W charging, gold plated! $19.99! Free Shipping!

It's not like anyone is checking products are what they say they are.

You can't legally call your food a hamburger if it's 90% meat glue and 10% cow.

Can we not do the same with cables?

Whoever is responsible for setting standards must be getting some good kickbacks from all this...

The people writing the standards are also the ones implementing it. That’s the kickback. That’s why every USB 3.whatever device suddenly became USB4 ones.
