Therapist: USB3.0 Micro-B is dead, it can’t hurt you.
Nintendo: Invents dual USB-C
The Samsung Galaxy S5 lineup was wild:
I had a boss who called that connector the “Samsung plug” when I had an external HDD and was trying to find a cable for it. I had an S5 for years, so I knew exactly what he was talking about, not that it quelled my shock given he was the team lead of IT support.
Needless to say he was (and still probably is) a huge Samsung guy
When I told my boss, in IT, about these he told me to stop making things up LMAO.
I mean, you knew immediately what he was talking about. What’s the issue?
I think my initial shock was that he’s my supervisor and couldn’t even identify that it was a standard outside of the Galaxy S5, so it brings any IT knowledge of his into question.
That being said, he was pretty open about us technicians knowing more about the nitty gritty computing than he did, so his lack of IT knowledge wasn’t a major issue as he was a decent team leader, which I found more important to his position.
Omg what?! My Galaxy S5 had Micro-USB, not this monstrosity, I think
It’s called micro b superspeed. It’s basically micro-b with an optional extra connector to reach USB 3.0 speeds. Unless the device needs the extra power rail (like a 2.5" HDD), then you can still use a regular micro b cable to get USB 2.0 speeds.

Switch 2 NDK
the Noftware Development Kit?
Nintendo Developer Kit
I assume it means “Native Development Kit” since that’s what “Android NDK” means
…i have hard drives that only work with the one power cord with that plug…
…need to clarify, i own 5 cables with that plug, but only one works…
You can edit posts here, you don’t have to talk to yourself.
…fuck you…
that’s funny as hell
Is it actually that plug or is it just micro-usb B 3.0, because I’ve never seen a dual c port like that
Why not?
Because it isn’t part of any spec I’m aware of and usually one usb-c port is sufficient for most purposes? Certainly any hdd would never be able to saturate a single usb-c port running at at least base 3.0 speed.
…i broke thm both…
Upload a picture of one?
Some high power laptops do this too. You can even get special docks for them with 2 cables.
My work laptop has 2 USB-C charger ports, which I hadn’t noticed until recently
I hate it.
In other news, there are also efforts from a lot of chinese companies to establish the GPMI connector, aka. wide boi usb-c.
Looks like the old school iPad dock connection.
Look at Nintendo trying to be Apple.
Back in my day, everybody on Reddit was saying they should merge.
