Finally a USB cable that can be plugged in either direction, no more guessing if its upside or not, lol.

But what really shocked me was the new power delivery spec, up to 100w!

100w, that could power a small toaster!... well not really.

I wonder if the 100w thing will be a standard requirement for computers? Since having 4 of these connectors would push PSU requirements up considerably.

I always thought this new connector would be backwards-compatible, although judging by this article apparently not... ?
