        Yeah just don’t pay too close attention to the unofficial power delivery protocols.

        My main complaint about USB is the cables. There’s no way of knowing what standards and data speeds the cable may support.

          They’ve now, at least, released a standard set of markings. Basically, the data speed in Gb and the power capacity in Watts will be printed on the connector. Whether chinese suppliers will bother complying is another matter.

            Your typo makes your comment really confusing because it means the opposite of what you meant to write.
