  • “Extensive manual reading” Really? Two seconds of skimming is extensive reading to this guy?

    Maybe I’m the exception here, but this thing reads to me like a long list of non-issues. I specifically don’t want my phone fast charging. It’s bad for the battery. I’ll slow charge overnight. People having to keep track of multiple cables is a result of them trying to save $2 and buying the cheapest possible cables. Buy good cables with the highest data transfer speed you will require and forget about it. They are all backwards compatible.

    The point of USB-C wasn’t to make everything compatible with everything always, the point was to get rid of proprietary connectors, and unify the 4 different USB connector types commonly in use.

















  • Many motorcycles (not bicycles, those are irrelevant to the comparison) already have more torque off the line than the available traction can handle, so that benefit from electric motors is less critical. The wear is a concern because motorcycles are already more sensitive to tire wear than cars, and simply switching to a harder compound to account for the extra weight has other ramifications that are far less severe in electric cars.
