USB-rainbow? It's literally not USB. I am USB-#ff33ff. How is it Universal?

#52At this point USB might as well auction their branding rights like sports stadiums: - USB Coke Zero - USB House of Dragon streaming exclusively on HBO - USB Crypto.com Consumers, Devices, and cables could continue ignoring it all but at least the consortium could have a new revenue stream.

#56I think the IEEE got it right with their Ethernet standards: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_physical_layer#Naming... The newer USB transfer speeds are basically using the same sort of line code as the Ethernet standards anyway. So doing something similar with USB would result in... 1.5BASE-UT (USB 1.1) 12BASE-UT (USB 2.0 FS) 480BASE-UT (USB 2.0 HS) 5000BASE-UT (USB 3.0 / 3.1 Gen 1 / 3.2 Gen 1) 10GBASE-UT (USB…
