Usb whut

 someone's hellbent on changing ports so fast it's hard keeping up

(o now I suppose I'm supposed to give some damn table of ports)

All I know is, I got used to "USB 3.0" which is so five years ago, but you didn't have to think about it.

USB 3.1 blinked and was killed instantly.

USB 3.2 is, uh, hmm "A" and "C" (I think) (B is in there somewhere)

And me, I have, uh, 3.1 gen 2 (I think) 

USB 3.2 gen 2 C

3.2 Gen 2 A

Gen 1 A

Wait, why have two gens on one board?

I can see the mix of "A" and "c" (They only have one single "C" but whatever)

but why gen 1 and gen 2?

Crouched over the back straining to see, it won't be easy seeing which generation is which.

The "C" is easy, everyone wants it and there's only one.

Like a toilet in a park.

The rest work or they don't, and I can buy adapters.

Two gen1 type-A (old school) I hope are the ones for the keyboard and mouse.
That's biggie-guessing but where else would they put them??

Adapters...another tangled web. You need to buy (let's see) double-sided, 10gb (unless you could find 20gb)

and the 5gb ones at the same price are old, hoary, cut down in their prime, but you would not know that, they cost the same.

I'm not buying thunderbolt-anything, supposedly they're security risks.

So that leaves usb-c adapters that work with video and charging, and those that don't (work with video and/or charging)

the single toilet port has to be reserved for my disk drive, and it's no big thing to unplug-plug, assuming that doesn't bust it. (I'm getting paranoid about unplugging stuff; wiggle the connection and it dies)

USB C is hooked to my xbox-controller because windows had a helluva time picking it up on any other port, but like I said that could just have been loose wires.

Damn, I'll have to unplug something for the drive to work, beeeeee

cause, um, you never really know what speed the port is running at; so no adapters, no long cables for my drive!! And the port *should* remain empty until it's needed by the drive, So I'm buying adapters for everything else; 10GB "double-sided(?)" ones, hmm.

WHAT in Hell would be so wrong with "3.1-1, 3.1-2" "3.2-2" etc
Since no one ever (ever) says "SS"??
Or even "5,10,20"
O nooo... that would be too simplistic, too common, too plebeian

By the way, you may have noticed, my motherboard says my ports are 3.2-2, and that other guy says "3.1 gen 2"

Either someone remarried or they just misspelled the name.

But I'll check anyway (geez!!)

Horseshit, You just wanted to pump-up sales

3.2 gen 1
3.2 gen 2
3.2 gen 1x2 (double-sided?)=10gbps but they're selling adapters
or maybe the adapter is (uh) gen 2x1  (yeah, "2x1" gotta be)

will we be tested on this?

WHAT do we know about the "C" port in my motherboard.

3.2 Gen 2 C

What DON'T we know (%$#@???) it's either x1 or x2, probably x1

If you had superman's eyes...and or the motherboard was sitting her on a table, I could probably verify that the female USB C connector had wires on both sides or only one side, making it (in my mind)
"double sided" (or single-sided.)

I'm kid of obsessive that way, I'll *look* ...

The USB-C is labeled "Type C" but more revealing is that
 one of the USB-A "SS" connectors is labeled "SS-10"
and the other is simply "SS".

The um, upshot of all this is that I'm fairly sure my motherboard can only do 10Gbps per second.

And that's fine, cuz my drive can only do 5.
And if I'm not seriously misinformed (I usually am) the Big Female USB connector sitting on top of the USB-C connector, runs at the same speed as the C connector.

But when you start adding in adapters, who knows.

I bought a game, the most popular game in the world of all time, (it says)

A CGA-style 3rd-person blobby thing.

I'm all "Is this a joke?"

I'll never believe you again, ever. Geez.

Long windy extemporaneous rant about games *You* like...redacted.

It's too hot, I'm too lazy to berate your ass for a game like "Virtual car wash" 

But seriously, what were you thinking?

It's game! It's a commercial! It's begging your kids to break out squirt guns to ruin your $3000 PC!

I'm glad I'm not missing much, unless maybe you're all playing "Castle wolfenstein" as neo-nazis, and Steam is messing with me, throwing all the dusty rejects my way.

Plus the people who do not work for or represent EA (but want an approval if they help at all) have banned me.

I was sort of pissed at them anyway, those non-representative minions, who don't do a whole lot (by their own definition, they can't.)

I mentioned "Cannabis" (it's a plant) and got banned because the non-rep said cannabis is an adult-type plant, and adult-type anythings are forbidden. (So "Hempvana" should be banned too, let's be fair.

O right, you're moderators and never fair.)

WHICH SAYS (OO SORRy) (which says)

    

Fine.

No more Nice guy. Sims Gardening is tedious and lately it's been bugged with excess weeds and blight,

But I'm gonna plant $600k (at least) of "Money trees".

There apparently is an entire thread devoted to money trees never putting out, but we shall see.

When things were working right, I had $600++ thousand income daily for "dragonfruits."

This meant I had an untold number of plants (very many).

I doubt I could have that many money trees, but each money tree is $1600, but only once weekly.

My math skills are in the toilet but I don't think that equals 600k a day, but I'll improve on my garden.

Well it's either that or keep looking for a Steam-game, and my last two picks were washouts.

One was a mentally-ill woman with memory problems, and the other (above) was kids trying to impress Granddad with a game from 1984.

The genre I appear to like is post-apocalyptic people, some of them nice, helping me rebuild the world.

"Days Gone" and "The Last of us" have been suggested; Days Gone is a PC game, "Last of us" (what I read in the last 30 seconds) is not.

I don't know...the end of the world is depressing, isn't it? Plus my character should be a woman in sexy outfits. 

"Snow white" Though I don't know why yet, all sites are paywalled

except the particular version I wished for was for "VR" so forget it.

Normally I hate puzzle games, especially the ones where greedy bastards online hide the solution.

So I'm not (I never) thought "Portal" or "son of Portal" sounded like much fun, the same as professional wrestling or championship golf never interested me.

The point is, some love them, and I'm tempted...but no.

The perfect game is one in which a girl fights monsters ("control") except I needed a trainer.

Face it, without cheats I'm so lost.
