FW16 - USB4 v1 or v2

The USB naming conventions are one of the biggest screw up in the entire tech industry. The whole version one version two Gen 1 Gen 2 is a complete nightmare from I consumer brand marketing perspective.

They should just have USB one USB 2 USB 3 USB 4 USB 5 USB 6. The double the bandwidth from 10 gigabit per second to 20 just bump the version number up by one.

It’s much easier to understand that way. The thunderbolt folks did it right by having thunderbolt 3 and thunderbolt 4. Easier to understand. And if they had a Gen 1 Gen 2 and then a v1 and v2 but gen 1 v2.

Yeah the USB naming convention is a complete load of crap.

Anyway really dying to get my hands on my framework 16 as fast as humanly possible.
