@chartier The current standards are a shitshow. So:

- USB Type C is just the physical connector
- USB 3.1 gen 2 is the current fastest version of the USB protocol and uses the Type C connector
- Thunderbolt 3 is an entirely separate protocol from USB 3.1 gen 2 that _also_ uses the Type C connector

USB 4 merges the two protocols, so USB 4 is a superset of TB3 (still using the Type C connector).

(then there's also USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, which is a protocol that is also over the Type C connector, but is _not_ Thunderbolt)

So USB4 will be substantially better than the current situation, but still not great because of old devices/cables and backwards compatibility needs.

Die Gesellschaft für Informatik #GI schliesst ihr offizielle #Facebook Präsenz. Als Begründung wird angeführt:
1. Facebook ist ein Feind des Datenschutzes.
2. Facebook vernachlässigt die Datensicherheit.
3. Facebook bedroht Demokratie und Marktwirtschaft.

Imho, Fedilab has long been on par with Tusky. But, Fedilab has finally edged out Tusky, for me. I have a tablet and had Tusky on it for a while. But, the latest version of Tusky crashes consistently. However, Fedilab doesn't do that, nor has it ever. So, from now on, Fedilab will be my go-to Mastodon client on my tablet. That is, unless something happens to convince me Tusky is better.
