@terryenglish Yeah the wide range of supported standards on USB-C without any visual difference (maybe apart from cable thickness), and the challenge with being able to tell which cables support which standards makes it a bigger problem than I ever had with USB-A.
The appropriate response when someone claims conservatives are a friend to working people is to laugh.

USB-C is annoying. I thought my laptop dock was failing--the screen blanked out whenever it moved on the hinge and it kept getting worse. I initially blamed a weak wire between the screen and base but on a whim replaced the USB-C cable with a new, higher quality version and all the instability went away instantly.
On this #laborday how about you read
The Capitalist System
by Mikhail Bakunin
https://anarchobook.club/docs/bakunin/the-capitalist-system.epub
For generations, organized labor and working individuals have built our communities while paving the way for a 40-hour work week, better working conditions, benefits, and a minimum wage.
On this day, we celebrate their achievements and grit, especially throughout this pandemic. Thank you for all of your hard work. Today and every day, honor the contributions of union members and labor and the improvements fought for by organized labor that have benefitted all workers.
Although the battle over these issues would seem to have been won long ago, we are still fighting today for fair wages for workers and for their rights to organize.
If you’re working today, thank you. If you’re off, enjoy your day. Be extra kind to any workers you encounter. Wishing everyone a happy & safe Labor Day. 🇺🇸
Wishing all my Canadian and American working brothers and sisters a safe and happy Labour Day!
