@jerry as long as organizations are defending against auditors rather than against attackers it’s always going to be cheaper to be like “we use CrowdStrike, everybody’s doing that, you can’t blame us”

@0xabad1dea It's true that taking random dependencies without thought for how they are maintained is problematic but if anything npm gives you tools like lock files to at least get to repeatability and similar.It's no different in any other system like apt or dnf etc.

@karotte @whitequark I can’t believe they still can’t get the names right even when it’s not about the consumer “make the names confusing so we can advertise the same garbage as new” scamI will keep protesting by saying USB <bitrate> until they choose something more sane.No: USB 3 Gen 1 Yes: USB 5GbpsNo: USB 3 Gen 2 Yes: USB 10GbpsNo: USB 4 2.0 Yes: USB 80GbpsAnd so on

@fleaz I think 'USB 4 2.0' is worse than that. At least the 'x2' part actually describes the operation of the interface and conveys that devices not supporting that protocol would still operate at 10Gbps (assuming USB 3 Gen 2 is understood as 10Gbps).In fact this protocol is the one big wrench in the gears of my 'just name then by bandwidth' strategy as my hypothetical 'USB 20Gbps' actually operate in 'USB 10Gbps' mode for most 'USB 40Gbps' implementations like Thunderbolt 3/4 controllers.

@miek I'll believe it when I see it. As far as I can tell the only reason their naming is such a complicated mess is that it's good for manufacturers when they can sell the slower port with the new name.

@ignaloidas That it's such a mess that such misinfo is possible is kinda at the feet of the USB-IF. Though I'm happy to see they are adopting the form I've been using in protest for years.

@ignaloidas Thunderbolt 3 (2015) came out before USB 3 Gen 2 x2 (2017), and Thunderbolt 4 seems to be Thunderbolt 3 but where the host guarantees it can do IOMMU

@ignaloidas Example: x670e and x870e versions of more or less the same board; the one from 2022 uses the name soup, the one from 2024 uses just the bandwidth figure. Maybe USB-IF said to do that in the USB3 days but hosts didn't get the memo. Looks like they may now be getting the memo though...

@ignaloidas No, the Type-C connector is USB 3.1 (2013); "x2" was not added until USB 3.2 (2017). Thunderbolt 3 is in the middle (2015).

@pmdj @ignaloidas @whitequark @karotte @coelacanthus Also true for Thunderbolt 3 and 4. Not sure about 5.

@ignaloidas This is part of why I assumed TB3 mostly == TB4 but with a guarantee that the host can do IOMMU
