What Is USB-C, and What Do All Those Numbers Mean?

From laptops to phones to wireless Bluetooth speakers, earbuds and more, USB-C connections have become the de facto standard for charging and data transfer of devices. While USB-C is just about everywhere now, including longstanding holdout Apple since the iPhone 15, not all ports or cables are the same.

Here’s the full quote from Mindy Brooks, for reference: “On the question of blur specifically, our hope with the use of blur was to be able to focus your attention, as a user and be able to keep you, visually where you need to be on the screen. And that was really the design principle behind it is how do you minimize distraction, by the use of blur. But that said, we obviously know that it doesn’t meet the needs of all users. So we will be rolling out a new customization setting so that you can

There isn't much backstory as to how Lucy wound up in the Guilty Gear universe other than that she was in a deep dive on the net and wound up somewhere else.
