@rysiek @zyk just try to buy a 3m long cable to connect your display to your computer!

those "cheap" ones actually don't work for DP/Thunderbolt and 2m is the max by the spec without resorting to optical transmission (never seen that available to be bought)

Or how about charging? trying to do 20V over your old USB-C to USB-C cable? good luck!

@drazraeltod Especially the charging!
I have a USB-C cable that came with Microsoft phone, it's not cheap looking and it is a fine cable all around, but it can't fast charge my phone, unlike the cable that came with it. The wall charger is the same, the length is approximately the same, but it does not work 🤬
