Why not label the ports and cables with:

  • 10Gb/s
  • 2.1Amps
  • 1080p at 60hz

It's future proof and doesn't need a decoder manual other than basic literacy. It can be in whatever language the fucking keyboard is. If you want to be redundant but even more clear:

  • Universal Serial Bus -> (this hole right here)
  • Speed: 40Gb/s
  • Power: 2.4Amps
  • Audio/Video: 4K at 120Hz or 8K at 30Hz

Amps are not power

[–] Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

So do like they did for video and put 2A @ 5V on the label. Now you have power.

Edit: clarity

But if its USB PD it can be more than 5V though.

[–] Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's why you specify it there:

2A@5-15V or something.

Sorry. I must have missed that. I am working on 3 hours of sleep rn due to a flight I need to catch.

[–] Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago

Ah. GL with your flight.
