This one’s different, trust us. Our new event for New York is focused on quality, not quantity.

 

 

Why? USB-C.

 


A reasonable article.  But, it fails to mention that the USB-C connectors and cables also work with Thunderbolt 3 ports.  

See https://thunderbolttechnology.net/blog/thunderbolt-3-usb-c-does-it-all.  The claim is for 40 Gbps.  Starlink sells a 40 Gbps cable—0.5 meters long.  Their 1.0 meter long cable delivers “only” 20 Gbps!

I think the bottom line of the article is correct.  Apple’s move to USB-C will speed the switch to USB-C ports and cables.
