Universal Serial Bus version 4 version 2.0.
The guy or gal who comes up with these names is a really funny person.

USB has become a joke since version 3.1

We're about to reach the point where it's faster and cheaper to 'network' your house with USB rather than ethernet.
How much does a 10Gbit NIC costs these days?

I hate the USB-C connector, we need a better standard.

They might as well just call it SB at this point because it's not universal when there are so many exceptions to what the port can be used for.
I have mixed feelings about it. I think it's good for phones and peripherals but it is a bit too fragile. I personally haven't broken any yet but I know of people who have.

Yep, im just waiting when USB C on my case is going to break.
If it was up to me i'd release USB 4 and just make A type port go as far as it can and C can do the rest if needed, case closed. Id rather use peripherals with a sturdy (and compatible) A type on everything but the phone, dont really need that much speed anyway.

i see name scheme of stupid continues... they need to stop with this usb x x.x scheme, i wonder where hdmi people got the naming scheme from.

While i hate the naming, and the fact no one is using the 'official' name "USB4" (no spaces), I am curious if this is a move to supplant DisplayPort 2.0 which has a max rate of 80 gb

Hmm, with usb and display port being able to run at 80Gbits then HDMI needs to pick up the pace.
@toffty Doh! didn't realise you wrote almost the same. 🙁

I don't really care about the tech of USB any more, it's the cables that let it down. You buy 1 cable that says Fast Charge compatible and plug in to phone and it says 'Fast Charge 58 mins to full'... all good. Buy another cable that is supposed to be Fast Charge compatible and plug it in with similar battery level and it says 'Charging 2 hours 14 mins'. The cost of the cables doesn't seem to indicate quality either.
