Killick<p>I thought the days of USB confusion were ending, but alas, they are not. Ms. Killick uses a lightning cable for her phone and I use USB C. In her car, which we took on a 9 hour drive last week, you need USB A to connect your phone to the car. Fine-- I brought a USB A to C and she has a USB A to Lightning. Sadly, all the ports one might use to charge your phone are USB C, so I would need a USB C to C cable and she would need at USB C to Lightning cable if we were to charge our phones when the other person was connected to the car. <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/UX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UX</span></a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/USB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USB</span></a> <a href="https://dmv.community/tags/AndroidAuto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AndroidAuto</span></a></p>

USB 2.0 was the game-changer we needed to revolutionize data transfer between devices. USB 2.0 standard pushed this interface to the mainstream, especially as it delivered a blazingly fast transfer speed of 480 Mbps. This was over 40 times faster than the 12 Mbps limit of <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/USB1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USB1</span></a>.1 and faster than Apple’s proprietary FireWire 400! <br><a href="https://www.tomshardware.com/peripherals/usb/usb-2-0-is-25-years-old-today-the-interface-standard-that-changed-the-world" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">tomshardware.com/peripherals/u</span><span class="invisible">sb/usb-2-0-is-25-years-old-today-the-interface-standard-that-changed-the-world</span></a></p>
