Sure, they can request 1.21GW, but the answer’s always “no”.

When this baby starts transferring 88TB an hour, youre gonna see some serious shif.

Thanks. Now I can’t get the image of a time-traveling DeLorian, with an iPhone plugged in where the MrFusion was, out of my head.

Next up: USB-E which is just a barrel plug that can be inserted 360 degrees.
lol_idk@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Maybe the exact size and shape of a headphone jack
Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
And 1.2TW.
fulcrummed@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Ie the headphone jack everyone went to such trouble to eradicate.
Swings and roundabouts.
dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
But it’s a 16-ring barrel plug.

“The massive ceramic connector and 10 inch thick cable immediatelly make obvious that the USB-D connector has been designed from the ground up to be able to power the latest generation of Graphics Card”

The time travelling aspect is nice, too…

Superconductor kept at a few Kelvin should do it. Available on any system with build in cryogenic unit. It’s part of the D port standard after all.
Cort@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Cryogenics is only an optional part of the standard. You’ll need to make sure both devices support the USB D pd420.69 spec otherwise you’ll never get the full rated speed.
Stupid usbif always making critical features optional.
ulterno@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
Don’t forget the cable also needs the same.
Fiery@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Any superconductor will do actually, it’s just that the ones we have at this point need to be really frigging cold. A room temp superconductor is the dream, and would function exactly the same as one that only works at a few kelvin.

I wonder how Doc pronounced “gif”?
gnutrino@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
He would pronounce it “yif” to piss off both sides

Wait, is this now satire or not? I am so confused.
A_A@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
it is from 1st of April, the so called April’s fools day. 1.21giga watts, at non lethal voltages of approximately 100 volts is approx. 12 million amperes. Solid copper wires for this current would be aprox 4m (12ft) in diameter.
So, yes, it is satire.zr0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Oh now I see the date. Damn, what an amazing article!

When I say that I want younto give me “the D”, this is also what I mean.

I was REALLY hoping to find a source page for that, sounded hilarious
lemmy_acct_id_8647@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
But will the D fit in the A hole?
9point6@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
The OP: datapro.net/…/usb-type-d-connector-unveiled.html
Remember when funny people still did April fools? I’ve not seen a good April fools hoax that doesn’t transparently reek of marketing in years

Google Japan always put out great ones, but admittedly I can’t remember how old the last one I remember is, and it could have very well been a decade ago ;_;

My favorite was when they turned Google Maps into a playable Dragon Quest map

Not necessarily April fools jokes, but the Gboard team has been designing and making silly keyboards (and publishing the schematics)
The most recent is a rotary dial keyboard

Get 360° freedom.
Alas only on a single axis.
WillFord27@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I still always need to attempt plugging in these motherfuckers a few times. Never had one break or otherwise become unusable though. Strong as an aux.
