  • Just about everything except truly basement-tier China tech sitting in warehouses has C now so you’ll soon be glad to have the ports.

    USB C is a form factor (pretty little reversible oval cable). Thunderbolt is a protocol and yes it uses USB C for the form factor. Other protocols on USB C cabling include 2.0 (ancient speed, used for charging only these days), 3.1 (old speed) 3.2 (slightly old but also not, it’s weird, and most common nowadays), DisplayPort (lovely modern video standard), and USB4 (which is newest and fast, but not quite as fast as TB). Decent rule of thumb is USB4 will always be one step behind Thunderbolt in speed (currently ~80gbps vs 40gbps in USB4). The cable will work at the fastest speed permitted by both devices. If they both have TB, then TB speed and power. If only one is TB, it’ll go at USB speed over yes the same cable because…

    Lastly, any proper spec cable will negotiate the best, safest power transfer between chargers and devices. So just don’t buy complete junk, read a couple reviews, you’ll almost certainly be fine.

    I had a blast. As a lifelong FF fan since III, I love the return to medieval fantasy. The combat felt so good with that DMC / Bayonetta touch. And while the story isn’t world-changing, it is at least more adult and the actors seem to be giving it their all. The main con is just the frame rate dip – even on Performance mode – during the biggest environments and most epic scenes. If reviews say that’s extent of it and it doesn’t get worse through the entire game, I can stomach it. If it struggles, then I’ll be at least waiting for the first major patch or possibly the PC release.
