Someday we'll look back and laugh (or cry) at our early USB struggles.

    I just wish they didn’t come with chips inside our cables.

      A chip can literally just contain basic logic gates. Your aversion to them is based on pure Qanon fiction

        My aversion to them is an aversion to unnecessary overhead. A cable is a cable, it shouldn’t be a third device.
