Ah, I see. Thanks for the info.

Am I missing something or why are the discussion threads for this show always an episode ahead? E17 isn’t supposed to be out till Sep. 19th.

Are they beeing leaked somewhere?

A solution to a self inflicted problem.

What? I’m either misunderstanding you or this statement isn’t correct

I meant that no USB standard actually has exactly 1 Gbit/s. I even mention that next one if 5Gbit/s. Just a misunderstanding I think.

No USB cable has “gigabit speed”. It probably has 480 Mbps (USB 2.0 standard).

Maybe he meant a 5 Gbps Gen1 cable. That would be “gigabit speed” but still rather slow by today’s standards and won’t support DP. They are pretty cheap these days, so wouldn’t be suprising to see left over stocks being sold as charging cables.

That sounds like a dedicated charging cable. So yeah, they will (if at all) only transfer data slowly and not support any extras features like displayport.

You won’t find these symbols on most devices though (certainly not on any macbook as the picture suggests).

A little early for that.

Ok, I’ll bite.

Now I’m not an apple fanboy, I have a macbook and this mouse, but no iPhone, iPad or even an apple ID. I’m also not claiming that this is good design.

But there is also nothing wrong with that mouse. The previous model used two AA batteries, which I think is worse. I do still have some of them around, but I use them rarley and sometimes forget to restock. So with it being rechargeable, at least for me, there is less risk of ever running out of battery. And the battery lasts like 3 months on a full charge. It also charges quite fast so it’s really hard to get that thing depeleted. Just plug it in everytime you take a shit and you’re good. You can charge it for like 2 minutes and you’re good for 2 days. The issue is a meme only.

The only real problem I have with it is that it uses the stupid lightning port. If they’d just make it USB-C then I could ditch my lighting cable all together.
