USB-C : the great attempt to create one standard cable, with so many 'optional' details; it was a complete failure.

But the chip can be false as chine is really good at faking data on them

Make universal plug for all shit you ever plug to the computer, so you never know what you plugged where. Brilliant. I hate USB C. Different shapes have different meanings. Stop replacing everything with USB C!

My toilet paper has a chip that tells my phone via Bluetooth how vigorously I can wipe before it tears. Technology is great.

If someone install false info in the e- marker then, a cheap cable will show as thunderbolt cable, right??

What if e-markers lie to Macs about its capacities?

When I make USB C powered PCBs I just slap a resistor to set the current. No chip needed, it just can't negotiate.

Do shady manufacturers ever just lie about the bandwidth the cables are capable of? Like put an emarker from a 40gb cable and put it in a 10gb cable?
