Just bought a new laptop a couple days ago, and the nightmare of figuring out the different USB 3 ports and what they can do in addition to different versions of Thunderbolt ports which I needed for an external graphics card, the whole thing was a nightmare.
Some of these USB ports only support certain features that you cannot tell from even their name if you know the name and certainly not from any badge over the port. Certain ports can charge but you have to know that this specification exists on the board itself by reading very deep into specs, or hope that it has a yellow plug in the center. Some will do external display but not all, and all of this is wrapped up in a port that often looks no different from any other.
I want to hunt down the people who came up with this naming convention system for USB 3.0 and throw them straight into an active volcano
