Tech folks might know how to handle it but for everyone else it will be just more of the same. As far as they care for labeling to begin with. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] JRaccoon@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 2 years ago (3 children) I think this time the manufacturers will be pretty quick at adopting the new branding; if there's two competing devices next to each other, one marked with "USB 3.2 Gen 2x2", which no one understands, and other one with "USB 20Gbps" I think the latter will sell more. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago Yeah something you don't have to further look up to figure out what it means. Just simpler. permalink fedilink source parent [–] LarsIsCool@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Probably. But then again, if one says "USB 20Gbps", but the one next to it has "80Gbps", it might be better to have had "USB 3.2 Gen 2x2" permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [+] felbane@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] Valmond@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago You mean the 3.0, 3.1 gen 1 and 3.1 gen 2 that all was changed to the same thing?

They're not gonna break into your house and emboss new symbols on cables you already own.
