Re:USB 4 version 2 promises 80 Gbps speeds over existing cables by capableweb on Friday September 02, 2022 @05:22AM (#32688579)
Did you just ignore the entire point of parents comment? It's not a technical problem, is that the companies/people involved don't want to solve it, because it doesn't benefit them.

They already put capabilities on the box. The problem is that it's not visible to the end user what is required. Simple color bands would help a lot.

This problem can never be solved. Where there are improvements over the same connector, you need some way to identify. Either with a simple solution such as colors or markings, or with on-screen / audio feedback.
