Authorities say the victims were paid off initially in small amounts to build trust before they started facing withdrawal limits l

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

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-11-15 02:30:00

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. They look identical, sure, and have some interoperability, but there are ratings for different charging and data speeds. That can make choosing a USB-C cable more complicated than it should be.
