I hate USB-C because until now the standard didn’t require any markings and the standards themselves are hot garbage.

Go ahead, pull out a USB-C cable from your drawer and tell me what it does. I bet you instantly know which cable is VGA, HDMI, DisplayPort, FireWire, or serial, but you’ll never know for sure what your USB-C cable supports.

You got reversibility but at what price?
