They compared a 100w 40gb/s thunderbolt to a charging cable usb-c. I can't believe no one in that whole production team say anything. This is embarrassing. Waste of resources and FAKE NEWS.

How do you not see that they are comparing a data cable to a charging cable?! This is WILD! They should have compared two usb-c data cables that is also rated for 100w and passes 40gbs. Instead they compared a data cable to a charging cable. Having the same ends on the cable doesn’t mean the cables are the same. How do you not know this?

    You’ve been told a dozen times by a dozen different people. A lot of people just see that Apple is selling a cable that can be used to charge their device for $130. Not a lot of people know the difference between an expensive cable and a cheap cable and this is informative. More so, this video is a tech demo on their scanning of the cables. This video was made for two purposes. One to scan cables and show their interworking. The second is to generate clicks. You keep looking for some deep meaning and you’re missing the point. You are the only person trying to manufacture outrage.
