>>108019847Literally why? The shit cable problem is with HDMI and DP. Nobody gives a fuck if their USB cable is shit.
>>108019847But Cable Matters already exist...
whats the point if it doesnt offer something over existing cablesi buy my cables from ikea because theyre made from tpe instead of the cheap shitty pvc
>>108019864No anon Linux invented cables. He also invented screwdrivers.
>>108019847Truespec is a good name and I like the promise, but I can't bring myself to buy anything from them. I think they once said, they make much more with merch nowdays. I wonder how many fa/g/s actually buy shit from him.
On the latest WAN show they reveal knowing that leaf is a slur for Canadians lol
>>108019847Could you kindly FUCK OFFwith that fuck face?
>invented Linux>invented screwdrivers>invented USBIs there anything he can't do?
>>108019847Why would I buy his cables over an Apple braided cable? These new Apple cables are indestructible and are built extremely well.
>creates a product that is EXACTLY what the average /g/ user claims they want (THE cable that just works, for a small premium)>/g/ suddenly pretends they love cheap chink usb a to c cables with no data lines and will catch fire above 2w of power delivery
>>108019847actually fucking useful. I respect him for doing it. Also the cables aren't that much either $20? >>108019859If anything its a good start hopefully he can get on DP/HDMI cables.
>>108019847Who?
>>108020203Why are you pretending to not know who he is when you have watched 100s of his videos?
>>108020189The cable that works already exists and is cheaper as shit.>muh firesI buy chink cables to throwaway after a few uses and even the 240W ones haven't failed yet.
>>108020219
>>108019847Prolly 10 gorillion shekles for (((his))) cables
>>108019984There cable management and now cables look nice. I'll trust these canadians over chinks selling cables now. I might try out there cable management clips but I really fucking dislike the LTT logo on everything. Looks ok with the cable but anything else giant logo i'll avoid.>>108020189as an actual oldfag that has been here since 06 i think these cables will be useful and will be my go to usbc cable store. If they make DP and HDMI cables i will go to them as well. If level1tech made cables I would go for them.
The one cable to rule them all, maybe.If it costs less than $50 I guess.
>>108020219chink cables are only good for charging data transfer why the fuck would you trust them if you have a better option? They constantly lie about the quality.>>108020239i checked its $20.
>>108019859People give a fuck when they pull out a USB-C cable and it doesn't work properly.A lot of them are not marked in any way to show what they support, in terms of power or protocols.Having a cable or two you know exactly what they are capable of and will live up to it and be easily identifiable could be a good proposition. If only they sell for reasonable prices.
>>108020254>i checked its $20.Holy balls, a lot of companies are gonna get fucked for the prices they charge.
>>108019847Linoos will make the ultimate mouse and keyboard, won't he?
>>108019984Considering how many zoomers on nu-/g/ actually bought his shitty screwdriver, nothing here surprises me anymore.
>>108020005>imagine spending your limited, allotted time in this universe watching two tech-illiterate brainlets talking drivel
>>108019934you are getting clowned lol. PVC among the best, non halogenated materials under lszh label are shilled for environmental reasons, not because they are superior.i can strip a PE cat cable with my finger nail and some back and forth bending
>>108019847Why did he only test this against cheap no-name cables instead of cables from known cable brands like Belkin or Club3D?
>>108020529>Why did he only test this against cheap no-name cables instead of cables from known cable brands like Belkin or Club3D?Because they're just cheap no-name cables with a brand stamped on them.
>>108019847>go to Alibaba>pay for USB charging cable>tell the seller to put LTT logo on it>Guys!!! We're now making USB charging cables!
>>108020645Essentially yes.The manufacturers are all in China or Taiwan and they make cables for any number of brands that just get their logos stamped on them at the end.So they went looking for a manufacturer that had acceptable quality and did exactly that.
>>108020233>cable managementthe pricing on these is insane, INSANE20CAD per pack, and depending on size that is for three to one piecespic does a better job for cents and who cares how it looks below a desk
>>108020663i've tried these. problem is that if you use them and decide to remove or add something you have to redo everything all over and remove the zip ties. i guess you could use the velcro but again you have to undo it. the ltt ones are slightly more premium ones easier to use but i dont think it matters as much as these usbc cables.
>>108020524>t. confident retard that is talking completely out of his arseyeah thanks for revealing yourself this earlytpe = thermoplastic elastomer ≠ pur = polyurethane
>>108019847>my $2 cable is slightly off specOh no, anyways.
>>108020688yes, the shit that hydrolyses within a decade and disintegrates.
>>108020685who cares, zip ties cost nothing. buy a 100 pack for 2$ and be good for years
>>108019847very niche and arrogant to think people care about cables. people use the one which came in the box or the one Amazon Recommends. he is preaching to a very small number of people who might actually care about whatever he is saying about a cable
>>108020200Yeah you can get a 5m 240W 480Mbps cable for $24 CND.
>>108020799He has 16 billion followers.He'll get plenty of sales.
>>108019847>look up popular canadian channels>it's chink ownedwhy is this always the case?
>>108020742I care. I fucking hate cutting and reorganizing shit over and over.
>>108019847are they all plastic? where's the braided covering in different colors?
>>108020254>i checked its $20.What specs?
>>108021079then pay the goy tax (100$ for 5 xxl clips)
>>108020529because that would then be an easily-recreated test and Evil Jealous People might take advantage of that fact. Better keepin' it all somewhat vague in the YouTube Tech Channel game.
i want to beat him to a pulp
>>108019847What's up with his teeth? I can't tell from the resolution, but it looks like he smokes meth
>>108020524and what's wrong with silicone? I've got one for pinecil, but somehow it doesn't seem to be an option for "normal" cables.
Linus is a scumbag but I might actually buy these. I'm so fucking tired of cables that aren't clear about what they do and don't support. And a friend of mine had a USB-C charger cable ignite and almost burned her son's bed down along with the rest of the house had she not seen it happen. So now I'm paranoid about what cables I buy. USB-C was a mistake. The forum should never have allowed an a la carte approach to which features a cable can choose to allow.
>>108019847How much?The random name USB-C one I got in Vietnam for $1 the years ago has been excellent.
>apple cables are shit! They don't even certify them! >We didn't certify our cables! Apple doesn't so why should we!Odd logic
those are honestly some i'd buy good USB cables are almost not athing
well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well well
>>108021689married a chink beancounter. And who would throw the first stone over a little r&r with the crackpipe then?
>>108021325its not a big deal if I really needed them. I'd like to get the cable basket thing thy have its the best one on the market from what ive seen.
>>108019847 get me a 700 mHz hdmi dac and then we'll talk jewnix.
>>108021838>it's not flatSKIPPED
>>108020233I agree, but i literally never had a problem with an usb cable, just buy some non generic chink cable like ugreen and you're set.But i will check out if they release an hdmi/dp cable, that market is tru5ly filled with shit.
>>108019847>no usb logoHow will we know which side is up?
>>108019859>Literally why? The shit cable problem is with HDMI and DP.USB-C demands only something like USB2 as the base minimum for support and everything else is optional. The cables I have for my Xbox controller won't work if I plug them in upside down, and they work with 0 phones that use USB-C outside of slow charging.We are back to early 00s charger hell now except all phones have the same plug, so now even a cable that fits may or may not work.
>>108020811So it's 80 times slower for data transfer? Okay.
>>108020239>>108020254>>108020275Why should a USB cable cost anything more than $5? Exactly what materials go in them that would warrant that price? Amazon sells the same cable for $10, and even that seems overpriced.
>>108019847this is why having to support legacy devices is bad
>>108020271>>108022208IDK why people have such problem with this>thin unmarked cableUSB 2>stiff as fuck cableUSB 3.1 4x4 Hyperspeed LGBT or whatever the fuck they call it>thick cable with bolt logoThunderbolt/USB4I've literally never been in a situation where I picked up a thin weedy ass cable and found out it can't do video
>>108022297>Amazon sells the same cable for $10Amazon cables are generally ok as well, even DP/HDMI for everyone moaning about those.
>>108022297you have no idea how cheap 10$ is for such a cable. The plug / cable termination on type-C isnt even an automated process, it requires a wagie with good eyes and steady fingers.Put any low volume industrial plug on that cable and they would sell it for 200$
>>108022297ack no, don't look. you have to buy the youtuber certified plastic cable!
>>108022342Anytime there is talk about USB-C it's always anons basically wanting the near limits of copper data transmission for basically free10 years ago a 40Gbps QSFP DAC cable would have been $100+
>>108022385the consooomer is spoiled by 50ct usb3.0 and ethernet cables
>>108022342Why would it not be 100% automated manufacturing? Is it because chink labor is so cheap that nobody ever bothered to create a machine to do it?
>>108019984>I think they once said, they make much more with merch nowdaysJust look at how they only had like 4 or 5 writers for like 7 channels with daily uploads and only two cameramen while the merch team had like 10 people for designing fabric products and 5 or 6 for more technical things, plus all the whole warehouse workers and customer support people.You could always see how much money was invested into the merch thing while they were counting every penny for their channels, which is what mostly led to the first scandal where linus admitted to not wanting to spend like 200$ of worker's time thinking a video for a day more.
>>108022442NTA but the problem with USB C is there are 24 conductors going to a PCB as small as your fingernail.It's something that is slowly being automated as machines get more precise but since USBC was rather unprecedented in the density of conductors it has, there where no machines to fully automate the process.Higher USB standards are forcing the matter as hand positioning isn't consistent enough for 80gbps+ cables
>>108022297Thundebolt cables have actual chips that control the data that's sent, it's not just 10 cables plugged into a connector to each end.I have that cable and it's rather okay, but the ends are fucking massive, so the cable sticks out a lot on the side of my laptop.
>>108022442what an arrogant statementThe plug is not optimised for machine assembly, it is optimised for high frequency communication and smal form factor.The individual wires have to be split from their axial shield and precisely aligned before an injection molder fixes them in place for soldering.Now look at Ethernet, in its original form its a pre sorted flat wire and 8 IPCs all pushed by a single die. This was purposely created for machine assembly
>>108020189>creates a product that is EXACTLY what the average /g/ user claims they want (THE cable that just works, for a small premium)where?

>>108019847Does it support all features?Like dp out.usb PCIand other stuffBecause 29.99$ is not worth it if all it does written on the cable.Because there is a lack of a spec cheet, yet they call their product "truespec". true spec of what?

>>108019847some people's para social relationship to the linus tech tips character is insane.i remember the benchmarking scandal. when the tech marketing channel, i mean their friend linus who talked to them for two hours every friday on the wan meeting, had lied about benchmarking results. and people were absolutely heart broken. how could their friend linus lie about such important things. but they forgave him and bought his screw drivers, clothes and a backpack from his store.i wonder how many people are gonna buy their friend linus's cable instead of a cheaper one that works just as well.
>>108020271the only usb-c cable i have ever had a problem with is apple cables that won't work on non-apple devices despite using the same port

>240WWhat devices even use 240W? My laptop maxes at 65W.>40gbps or even 20gbpsWho is using USB cables to transfer files in the current year? And how often does that happen? Can the devices even write to disk at that speed?It seems like a solution without a problem.btw i just tested my cables and all my anker stuff (cables and wall warts) fully saturate the 65W capacity of my laptop.
>>108023772>>Who is using USB cables to transfer files in the current year? And how often does that happen? Can the devices even write to disk at that speed?i've heard of people doing large media projects actually making use of the full speed but it doesn't necessarily have to be fileswith USB4 which is where those speeds were introduced you can have things like PCIe over USB
>>108020155Well you get to pay more and have the satisfaction of knowing you are funding Linus' fourth home.
>>108023772Your pc is 12 volts, usb-c is up to 48.240w is just standard usb-c pd.
>>108019847He doesn't make anything. He has pays to have chinesium slop rebranded with his shitty logos then sells it for 1000% or more markup.
>>108023772>What devices even use 240W? My laptop maxes at 65W.GPU boxes that gamers use to play desktop games on steam deck and university IT deploys on demand around finals time when there is a period where intradepartmental federated cloud compute demand surgery
>>108023772>>108024392There is literally 1 device that supports 240w outside of powerbanks and it's a FrameworkIt's not any GPU boxEven in that pic it's AC powered
>>108022309>IDK why people have such problem with thisBecause it used to be that black port = USB2, blue port with extra prongs = fast USB3. Now we have USB-C and it's an utter fucking toss up what each port, cable, and device can handle.Like, okay, I grab the thick cable, put it in the port - oops it's only USB 5gbps. Try the port on the back, also 5gbps. Try the red or light blue port with an USB-A to USB-C converter - okay now I get 10gbps.Then my mum needed a charging cable so I have to use my spare, and now I get 480mbps USB2 on the same device and same port. And it only works in one orientation, I have to turn it around if it doesn't.fuck that man. USB-A was so much more sane.
>>108022529>>108022342youre retarded, these things are never hand soldered what are you smoking lmaoyou have a PCB where you solder the connector by any regular SMT process, notleast because you need a PCB for some auxilliarly stuff but also because it's the easiest way to attach your rubber housing onto something that can take some load.and "small as your fingernail" has NEVER been an argument FOR manual labor. 90s era pick&place machines can do and are still doing this. youre paying a premium on premium cables because some fuckwit thought it was a good idea to put a microcontroller and some LEDs on your fucking cable.
>>108023772>40gbps or even 20gbps>Who is using USB cables to transfer filessome monitors have usb-c as a video input
>>108019847He should be smashed in the balls repeatedly.*blasts his entire groin off with a shotgun8Okay Linus, now you may continue.
This only solves 1/3rd of the issue of USB-C. Yeah, having a reliable cable that's actually capable of doing everything a USB-C cable should be able to do is nice. But you're still reliant on the PORTS of the devices on either end being able to support the same not-so-standardized "standards". For instance my phone has USB-C, and it uses that for charging and data, but that data is limited to USB2.0 and there's no ability for video output over USB-C. This is a modern phone, USB3.0+ has been around forever, and yet here we fucking are. And you can't even find out that these standards aren't supported unless you really dig dig deep down into the weeds in the spec sheets. tldr phone manufacturers are a bunch of kike niggers and they should all fucking die.
>>108025281iphone doesn't support USB3 btw
>>108022986It's meant to, that's kind of the point.
