If the USB-IF had half a brain between them all (clearly they don&amp;#x27;t) they would require the data&amp;#x2F;charging&amp;#x2F;etc specs to be printed on the cable. Instead they spend their time coming up with confusing standards that are indecipherable to the average person which lead to a shitty world where everyone needs a cable tester to know what a cable is capable of, or they have constant bad experiences with a cable that fits the port but underperforms if it works at all.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;ve heard some people say this is because it&amp;#x27;s all marketing-driven vs engineering-driven, if that&amp;#x27;s the case the fire the whole department because they suck at marketing. It&amp;#x27;s gotten to the point the only cables I can trust are from Anker and even those suffer from lack of labeling on them.</text></comment>

USB naming is messed up.</text></comment>
