I'm talking about using the standard traditionally to denote the performance of the connection.

You don't go around talking about your "Usb 3.0 device" that runs at 480mbps unless you're trying to be a massive dickhole.

That's what I'm talking about.

480mbps

A device or port that does 480mbps transfer speeds is a "Hi-Speed" device/port. That's the real name and always has been.

It doesn't matter what version of the USB spec it was certified under. If it was designed between 2000 and 2008 it was certified under USB 2.0 or 2.1

If that device was certified between 2008 and 2013 then it was certified under USB 3.0. That absolutely doesn't make it a "SuperSpeed" device/port, but that's more than clear when we use the real names.

Nobody uses that, they use the spec number because that's what they've been taught, and they identify with it more than the incredibly stupid 'full/high/super/duper/ultramegahyperspeed' convention which the idiots at the siig decided to break again in 3.2.

Everybody literally on the planet agrees the system is moronic, you're literally the only person who dissents, congratulations on that.

Then just be as mad as you want--that's the whole point of the news cycle anyways! Why bother learning? Congrats, chaos wins!

I've integrated the IP on silicon (copy pasta with axi mostly), it's not me who has the problem, it's normal people who don't live this shit and just want the plug to work best, which isn't what happens at all.

The naming is a joke to everyone but keep being proud of it.
