@ipg@wetdry.world Is this the USB 3.2 Gen 2x3 everyone is talking about?

@ipg where do I get these adapters? I'll need it for both ends.

@ipg USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 without USB C :>

@ipg We tried Universal Serial Bendy Bus for a while but everyone hated it.

@ipg I suppose the data flows on "the wrong side" of the bus too.

@ipg They should have done this instead of the lumpy USB 3-B connector.

@ipg @marxjohnson
I was about to reply "wtf you talking about!? I work in IT, and I've never seen a Double Decker USB!"

Then I got the joke. 😂

@ipg is this a misinformation?

@ipg Did you know that in the UK the C in USB-C stands for Commonwealth?

@ipg
i wonder why you never get double decker buses outside the uk

they're so good..
@alice

@ipg@wetdry.world

@ipg we need a global universal standard if we want a world free of garbage and hoarders.

@ipg
I see the double decker makes it super speed. Yay!

@ipg the better quality ones are in red, gold contacts are the cheaper variety.

@ipg One is for hot bits and the other for cold bits?

@ipg 😂 😂 😂

@ipg Only one Double Decker Bus i've known

@ipg Each is andled a different way so it always works regardless which way you insert.
Or never works either way you plug it in.

@ipg Do they fit under low USB bridges?

@ipg@wetdry.world this is an abomination

@ipg
If you turn the picture upside down it looks like a goth Lego mummy. 🙃

@ipg is it still subject to the USB Uncertainty Principle?

@ipg There actually is something that looks kind of like this that’s a standard(ish) for use in Point of Sale systems called “PoweredUSB”!

@ipg Most other countries, of course, standardized on the Universal Serial Articulated Bus instead.

@ipg My husband, part of the team who worked on USB 2.0, is howling! 😂

@ipg

Unacceptable. We need to put the “US” back in “USB”!!!

@ipg :-)

@ipg This strongly reminds me of the Schrodinger's USB Cable problem. XD

@ipg transfer rate up to 960 feet per royal pint squared
also, cc: @NanoRaptor

@ipg OK you're joking but show the other end of the cable.

@ipg Default 240v USB

@ipg Does it need a special kind of driver?

@ipg boo!

@ipg On the one hand, it's so cursed. On the other hand I'd imagine it feels great to hold in your fingers, like some fidget toy.

@ipg I hear that they are able to carry up to double the data rate of normal USBs too. Maybe USDDB should be a thing in more countries

@ipg@wetdry.world is this the same thing as the n64dd

@ipg Twice the height, but same speed.

@ipg I Looked Up USDDB On-Line To See If You Came Up With This Meme Or Not And Someone Had Already Reposted It On Reddit.

@ipg there I fixed it

@ipg we briefly experimented with the Universal Serial Bendy-Bus (USBB) but this seemed like a better solution in the long run

@ipg they tried to replace it briefly with the universal serial bendy bus, but dropped it due to insertion issues.

@ipg As a Brit, this made me chuckle 😄

@ipg Ah, the benefits of Brexit.

@ipg This made me think of @NanoRaptor but now I see they've wiped out all their socials (not to mention their cursed tech photo edits) :( :( :(

@ipg and you can never find a cable when you need one. but when you do go looking you always find 2 cables :-)

@ipg you win the internet today, nn

@ipg @LunaRogue why not make it square with one more layer, this way we will have 4 different positions to try to plug it

@ipg You replacing nanoraptor?

@ipg is it also made in Egypt?

@ipg@wetdry.world somebody make an edit that says "Fedi" instead of "Twitter" in the end of this video. /lh

@ipg twice the bsndwidth as regular USB

@ipg being blue twice, does this mean this is USB6?

@ipg the I bet the polarity on the data lanes is also reversed

@ipg One for hot data, one for cold data.

@ipg the thing with this post is that somebody would 100% believe it if you posted it elsewhere

@ipg _Please_ don't give the Tories ideas!

@ipg their square USDDB 'type B' connector is interesting. It's a grey-blue colour but not larger at all – all the extra contacts fit because it's bigger on the inside.

Manufactured by #tardis inc.

@ipg an extra piece of trivia: when a new monarch is crowned, the second connector is turned the other way round. Meaning after a coronation you will need to renew your devices as the new connectors won’t fit in the old sockets, no matter how many times you turn them round. This is a tradition that dates back to the 19th century.

@ipg
I ordered a couple of these online...waited ages and two came along at once....

@ipg And, of course, you have to attempt to insert it 4 times to get it in right.

@ipg I wouldn't be surprised if somewhere this would be in an actual product.

@ipg USDDB - 6.4

@ipg This is the one where the pins are on the other side, right?

@ipg This is like something @NanoRaptor would post :D

@ipg Please don’t give the UK gov any ideas; they’re batshit crazy as it is!

@ipg Still looks more convenient than the three-pin electricity plug about the size of a deck of cards 🤭

@ipg

In England, they call it a Lorry.

@ipg i prefer the universal serial train. no potholes to deal with.

@ipg am i too not british to get the joke?

@ipg twice the speed

@ipg proper boris bus that

@ipg which is running at 1/2 the speed and 4x the price of the continental version, yes? 😉​

@ipg USB consortium: 🤔

@ipg

@ipg You joke, but this is a real USB connector:

@ipg
It's be better of one plus was inverted so the pair would fit the socket any way up.
@Waxingtonknee

@ipg Bitrate is kinda weird with these cables though. You get no packets for ages and then three come along at once.

@ipg that's sick 😂

@ipg finally...USB lasagna

@ipg

@ipg Paging @NanoRaptor !

@ipg thanks I hate it

@ipg@wetdry.world
CPU Buslanes are also double density.
It is wild.

@ipg so does this imply the existence of an articulated usb or

@ipg the world is changing to usb-c

@ipg@wetdry.world @NanoRaptor@bitbang.social this might interest you.

@ipg

They are usually red.

@ipg Does it still take at least three tries to get it in?

@ipg what does the bendy bus look like? 🤔

@ipg @Cdespinosa Is this always blue, or the central London ones also available in red?

@ipg @Cdespinosa ah, USB 3.2 Gen 2x2x2

@ipg Looks more handy than two separate buses!
