anyone i know used IPoTB? i've tested it yesterday. pros: absolutely zero fuss. cons: i get only 10.3 Gbps for some reason, instead of... 2 to 4 times as much?

so i knew that, but i didn't realize that there are -two- kinds of passive cables, 1m/20Gbps and 0.5m/40Gbps; i have the former, going to grab the latter and see if things improvehttps://twitter.com/dguaraglia/status/1282481281180135424 …

also who the fuck at intel thought it is a good idea to have two kinds of cables that have exactly the same markings, cannot be introspected through software in any way, but differ in performance by 2x

Ah the same people who made it possible for charging to be better if usb-c cable is plugged in "correctly" instead of "upside down", which both "work" but you won't get same performance (with some cables). -.-

Wait, is this actually a thing by design? I've noticed this behavior but I always attributed it to flaky connectors.

This isn't specific to the HDMI application, this is an issue with the physical header spec of USB-C and how it behaves w/ the original power delivery spec which was based on 2.0 not 3.x, so CCx are ignored.

I've noticed this with C-C cables connected to a normal 3A type C charger.
