No, that is the worst plan to have. Confused customers will but something they don't need for more money they should.

[@Gilmaris]

@@anj000 That's a different kind of confused. You're talking about customers who _are_ confused, but think they're not. However, if you market something that customers don't understand, they won't buy it. They'll go buy something more dumbed down from the competitor instead.

[@Jamie-tx7pn]

@@Gilmaris More likely is that they just buy them all if they're confused between many. More money = less thinking; I'll figure it out later. The entire goal of marketing is to sale things and companies take that shit VERY SERIOUSLY. (It's literally their goal, you know. To sell you things.) They would notice VERY QUICKLY if a marketing strategy wasn't working out and they would VERY QUICKLY go back to the drawing board. I wouldn't say this is ALL companies but it might generally be a good rule of thumb that if it's a multi-million dollar corporation (not sure what USB is but seeing as they're everywhere, it might be the case), they're either supremely lucky or know what they're doing. (Most likely both.)

I work at a major tech store. And this drives me crazy, because I know the differences between these. And like you say the consumers don't care as long as it works and says 3.0 or is BLUE. Even though many new laptops still come with at least 1 USB 2.0, and 1or2 3.0 ports BUT they've stopped coloring 3.0 ports blue for some godforsaken reason, and don't even identify them. But it's the WORST when I get a customer that knows what cord they need, high powered and data USB 3+ or type c, and I take forever to find it because they only put 3orC on the package, and I have to go to the manufacturer website to find the correct specs. THEN my manager just hands them the cheapest cord and tells them "Sure, it'll work with anything!" Because that's what we're all led to believe... Then it doesn't work good enough and they return it %50 of the time or live with a lower speed C cable without even knowing there's a difference between every damn cable... UHG!

The REAL problem with post-launch renaming of products comes when you need support. What search term do you use? Because in the earlier support topics and forums they will call things by the former name. And in recent forums they will sometimes use the new name, or sometimes the old name, or even worse, use the 2 mixed together... And the official channels will call them by their marketing name, while pretending they don’t know the real spec’s name. How is anyone going to find relevant topics? “I’m looking for driver for my usb 3.1 device.” -Ok but which 3.1 do you mean the first one or the renamed one? “Idk it just says USB 3 superspeed”

[@janjohansson2567]

SuperSpeed (without 10gpbs at the end) means the device is usb 3.0 = 3.1 gen 1 = 3.2 gen 1x1. Saying "3.1" without the gen is leaving out crucial information.

[@dhgmrz17]

​@@janjohansson2567 Yeah, however if you aren't on top of the stupid naming schemes you would have no idea what the people were talking about nor would you think it was relevant to your issue.

[@ayuchanayuko]

@@pangkan270 there's no major difference in USB 3.0 and 3.1, more of a protocol thing and not a physical thing like usb2 vs usb3. The USB 3.2 gen 2x2, on the other hand, could have been USB 4 or USB 3.3. They could reserve USB4 for a purely Type-C spec. Or imo just append a 'C' in the name if it's a type C like USB 3.3C so you could get cables like usb3.1 to usb3.1C for connecting your desktop PC to your external drive or phone. This for me is better because the performance of a type C cable also depends on the cable's spec (usb3, 3.1, 3.2) and not just because its type C. Likewise, cables could be called USB2C cables so people dont mistakenly buy a usb2 type c cable. Tldr USB4 is better for a port or protocol that is majorly different enough -- e.g. type C or a new orange 15-lane TYPE A Port.

Or they could start learn the basics of numbers again to not confuse the hell out of people rather than giving the different versions random names since the speed is the only thing that matters, and was originally the definition of the USB (x) number. The only physical difference between earlier versions and 3 is the 5 extra pins. That with the (x).0 , (x).1 , (x).2 and gen v's add-on number is more a marketing thing to make it look better that I find silly and dumb when they can change the first number instead (if the same plug can be used on all versions). If the USB 3.2 with 2 lanes can't work with 1, it should be called UPB (for Universial Parallel Bus) instead and have a complete new socket and plug design since the Serial in (Universial Serial Bus = USB) means 1 single lane that transfers 1 bit per clock cycle (more failure proof but slower and depends ONLY on the clock speed), and Parallel transfers several bits on individual lanes per cycle (less failure proof but much faster and depends on booth the number of lanes and the clock speed). That would be more correct to call it.

no, since the data lines are STILL serial. Parallel means that each bit of a single byte travels parallel in 1 burst, so bit 1, 2, 3 and 4 for example would move at the exact same time each on their own cable as a group 'message', serial means the bits all move individually in a cue and get reassembled at the other end into bytes. Two parallel data lines just means twice of that, the bits being sent on each line have no direct byte relation to each other.

@@dashballantyne612 GTX 1660 is the in-between of GTX 1060 and the RTX 2060. Uses the same processor family as tge RTX 2060, but without the RTX. For techies, we would have liked it more as simply GTX 2060 and RTX 2060, but some people might just look at the number, so they made the GTX 2060's number sound something in between. GPU model numbers have always been easy. Though past the GTX 700 series, nVidia kind of 'pulled ahead' in terms of performance level numbers/tiers so that xx70 of nvidia cards are xx50/xx70 of Radeon cards. Anyhow. The last digit always designates a sub-model number, the second last being the performance tier, and the remaining one or two digits being the generation. So a gtx 1060 is generation 10, performance tier 6, submodel 0. For radeons, an RX580 is generation 5, performance tier 8, submodel 0. In older cards like the Radeon HD7000 series and the Geforce 8000 series, the left most number is the generation, the second left being the perf tier, and the last two being the submodel. So a Radeon 7770 is Gen 7, Perf 7, Submodel 70 which is faster than the submodel 50 (7750). Likewise, a Geforce 8800 GTX is Gen8, Perf tier 8, submodel 00 GTX which is faster than submodel 00 GTS.

The most disgusting thing is nowadays many cable manufacturers even don’t put USB specifications on their packages or it’s hard to find. Most of time you will get USB 2.0. I was surprised how hard to get a USB 3.1 Type-C to Type-C cable for monitor, like Belkin, they don’t put any information on their packaging. The one sold at apple actually only suitable for charging.!

[@ScytheNoire]

USB needs to go talk to Wifi, which recently went more simplified.

[@IntensePeppers]

It did?

[@maximchintalov8387]

I miss old Wi-Fi. I will still call it IEEE 802.11.

No the dumbest thing about usb is when you plug something into a laptop thinking it’s usb 3 and it turns out it’s FireWire 400

And if you have windows 10 it no longer supports firewire

Yeah but I genuinely don't know why FireWire gets so much hate (other than for simply being old.) It worked perfectly for me, my favourite device being my M-Audio FireWire 410. The best damned audio interface I've ever owned.

I heard next year they are going to change the name to USB3. So you will have USB3 4.1 Gen 1 x 4 Superspeed +++ 80Gb/s Thunderbolt usb-c

[@1yasin6]

Superspeed is a stupid name. that is how a 4th grader names his bicycle

[@PendelSteven]

What's worse? Is that people see a USB-C port nowadays and think "40 Gb/s". Nope. That's not how it works. That USB-C port might actually be as fast as an USB-A port.
