I had a friend in college that would get incredibly worked up over mundane details like this. He would argue until red in the face over shit that entirely misses the point of the subject matter.

OP really reminds me of him. Like.. we know they're different things. Adam Savage and the folks at Lumafield know they're different things. They picked what they did because showing two similar technologies would make for a boring video, they're meant to be different things.

Like.. the dude I went to college with ended up dealing with stupidly high blood pressure and having a stroke at 35.. try to calm down and take a breather... it's not worth getting this worked up over something so insignificant.

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.

Yes exactly. Look at the people here commenting. They are so clueless and eat up garbage misinformation like Sunday dinner. It’s a shame. And when someone like me does a post they downvote so no one gets the information they need.
