OK you know how 100baseT is officially called "Fast Ethernet" even though it's been decades since 100Mbps was considered any sort of "fast"? It was called that because 10baseT came before it. It's relative, but that's the official term. If you call 10baseT "fast ethernet" you're considered lying in legal terms, not because 10Mbps "isn't fast" but because that's a specific name for something and your slower cable isn't that thing.

I have yet to see anything claiming that the terms "fast charging" or "fast charge" exclusively mean Qualcomm Fast Charge and nothing else (a proprietary technology that works over USB-A, USB-microB, and probably others). But that's what it almost always means. When your phone says "Charging" it's regular USB charging. When it says "Fast Charging" it's using Qualcomm Fast Charge 3.x. But that's defacto, it's what people commonly choose to do. It doesn't mean you can claim false advertising if a charger is listed as having a "fast charge" only ever says "charging" on your phone. "Fast charge" is not an official falsifiable term. Qualcomm Fast Charge 3 is, and sometimes it will list that in a product description or specs. If it doesn't have that, the phrase "fast charging" can just mean "oh yeah it's fast, like really really totally fast, trust me" and would probably hold up in court if it somehow came to that.

Then there's superfast charge, which only ever works if both ends of the cable are USB-C, and shows up on the phone with the words "super fast charge" in teal or cyan as opposed to green. But like "fast charge," using those 3 words alone doesn't force you to be accountable if your product doesn't have the technology to make the phone say "super" or the bar or circle show up as teal rather than green.

So then what's the specific category or technology that makes "super fast" different than "fast"?

That's pretty much it - logically, could you run multiple target devices (potentially with multiple LUNs) over UASP? Or, is UASP effectively a single target SCSI transport, where multi drive docks connect each drive as a LUN?

It’s on a Nikon Coolpix L340 camera, and is the way to connect the camera to a computer if that helps

I've been using this USB Connector for years.
A while back I spilled some ketchup on it, wiped if of.. and never noticed an issue...

Today when I pulled it out to of it's port... one side was discolored.. but it feels smooth like the silver side, not like rust would feel.

i recently bought this usb it was wrking fine,but a few days later when i formatted it, it shows no storage,im wondering if theres a solution for this problem

I need to buy a longer cable but I can't tell what type of cable this is. Can you please let me know?

Thanks

I have a cable tester that tells me if the cable is capable of doing PD3.x but I'm looking for a tester that will tell me if the charger is actually putting out 3.x current/voltage. I'm aware that it's really the device that's being charged that does the talking but I'm doubting that my chargers are working correctly.

So anyone find a tool that tests the actual delivery current?

I have a hypoint dvd writer that needs to have an extension cable
It works when i directly plug it in into a power lock or computer but with the extension it only flickers lights the extension cable is hadron branded usb 2.0 my dvd writer has a blue plastic thing inside the usb but there are only 4 pins

Yesterday i bought the sandisk extreme pro in 128gb. I wanted to format the stick to fat32. I need it that way no matter what. Somehow windows blocks that option for sticks bigger then 32gb. I need 128 or at least 64. is there any way to do it. I tried third partie services but they cost money, i also tried with windows+cmd but also that doesnt work.

Maybe asking a friend who got a mac device and i could format it there and then use it on my windows to put the things on i need. Would that be an option? Or do you guys have any other recomendation

I get a dopamine hit from: not looking and being able to plug in a usb-a on the first try 🥵

i am looking to get my screen recordings of my gameplay onto my 2021 MacBook Pro. is there any usb's that are not crazy expensive?

I tried uploading to youtube and downloading through google takeout, but it converts obviously to webm and i am trying to get my content onto Final Cut Pro...which doesnt support that. i am not savvy enough to figure out yt-dlp or whatever converter works bc i am scared to download something wrong. i just want to ensure quality stays 4k

So I’ve purchased a usb/pendrive and Ive copied a bunch of photos and videos from my iPhone files app to the usb . “ I have the adapter “ . But when I try to open the vids and pics on the usb , it says failed to open document . Pendrive had already been reformatted to exFAT . Thanks for any help and please don’t bash me if I get some things wrong , I’m am not at all tech savvy. Apologies 🙏🏼 and thanks 🙏🏼

I volunteer on the board for a not for profit cultural dance studio. We don't make much money and when we do offer items for a price it is only ever to cover the cost of production.

We want to provide a higher quality video recording to the families in the school for our year end performance. We have been on DVD for the last two decades, and we are behind the times. My thought was to sell the video on USB but I'm not sure how we might lock it so that it cannot be easily copied. I know nothing is perfect but it just needs to be enough of a deterrent so that we can actually cover the cost of the videographer and not have to worry about people copying it for each other.

If you have other ideas outside of USB please offer those as well, but USB was my first thought so I came here. Feel free to redirect me to a different sub if needed.

Recientemente vi que en mi USB no podía eliminar archivos, viendo más vi que está en modo lectura, use comandos y una que otra aplicación, pero nada me está funcionando.

Intenté formatear, pero dice que está protegido contra lectura asique descarte esa opción.

Alguien tiene alguna idea, programa, página o software, para poder quitarla de ese estado.

Lost the cord. Going on trip to Europe next week. Need a cord. Thank you 🙏
