Thanks for succinctly explaining what thunderbolt is

Those will legally do pretty much anything depending on what cable you use anyway. (and what cable you end up using is pretty much a surprise until you've tested it.)

All thanks to USB making our lives more simple. (yay)

Ok, I suppose it is more simple in quite a few ways.

That is not what I'm suggesting. I'm not saying charging only cables shouldn't exist. I'm saying what everything does should be clearer.

some additional info about USB. If your cable/connector is old, idk how old is requred, the names and standards are actually completely different now than they used to be, but they're adopted into the new standards, so you have to keep this in mind when trying to recognize this stuff.

thanks USB forum, you guys are the best :)

Every computer store should have a poster about this.
