minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·3 months agoEh, USB4 is basically what USB 3.3 would’ve been, but with fresh branding. I expect it to have the same naming issues after a few updates…

minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 months agoSort of? It borrows a lot of the high speed protocol bits from Thunderbolt 3, but I think it does DP a little differently (at least it supports different DP standards than TB3). So it’s closely related, but not necessarily the same thing.
