Before anyone go off an tangent about never experiencing having to install keyboard drivers, there is still drivers but windows does it for you. In some systems, usb keyboards arent always recognized, especially in bios, and can cause problems while ps/2 would always work. So configuration is NOT always easier. And self configuration only applies to common types of accessories that supports windows generic drivers, like printers mice microphones keyboards drives and keyboards.

    Some minor details missing in the video: USB version names have became quite chaotic. For example, the USB 3.0 is currently named USB 3.2gen 1, the USB 3.1 is called USB 3.2gen2, and then the USB 3.2 is USB 3.2gen2x2. I wouldn't be surprised if it became even more complicated. USB-C can reach up to 100W of power delivery, and doesn't necessary have to reach its USB 3.1 standard. For example, some motherboards only have "USB 3.0 type C" connector (and header). If your phone supports fast charging and you're looking to buy a new motherboard (and planning to plug your phone into it), try looking for something specific: USB-C 3.2 gen 2 connector (10Gbits/s speed). Why? Because this connector can output up to 15W of power, compared to 5W on slower USB connectors (even the type C, if it only supports 5Gbits/s speed). You can use some USB-C cables/connectors for transfering "display data", as some of them support 'displayport functionality'. USB type A doesn't always have 4 pins. From what I know, faster ports have more pins.

Thanks to the confusing revisions/speeds within a single connector generation - for years by USB. Hopefully USB 4 fixes this. Your video once again explains it all very well.

    One important thing that's also worth mentioning is that a USB-C connector doesn't define the speed of the cable. You can have a USB-C/USB-A cable with 2.0 speeds, but also with 3.0 speeds. Cable max length is also very different and can differ from 3m for USB 3.0 to 15m for USB 1.2.

You notice that there has only been one change to electrical plugs since electricity became available: a grounding hole was added. There is no more reason to screw around with computer cables than there is with electrical cables.

    Today I learned more about USB than I ever thought I'd know. On a serious note tho I do hope in this decade that we see type C become the new universal standard for USB. It transmits lots of data quickly, it charges, it can be flipped over, and it doesn't matter which end of a cable goes where. It's already used to charge MacBooks, Nintendo Switches, and some Android phones. It should be more widely available.

    Great video. Minor point you missed out. The power output of the USB ports differ eg USB 2 only provides 500mA, while USB 3 can provide 900mA, this is important because some more modern devices like external drives need more power but if connected to the older style USB 2 will not work properly. This actually happened to me. And here is something nice, the MICRO USB 3 devices can still work with the standard Micro USB cable (eg USB A - Micro USB like for older smartphones) as well but at the slower speed.

    Apple has a habit of mucking around with the USB standard. I remember when they keyed the plugs and sockets to make them less universal. As far as I can tell, the Lightning connector is just another attempt to lock users into their own inferior protocol (I won't call Lightning a standard as, by definition, a standard has to be adopted by more than one company).
