flacswelcome to 2025 where mainboards have 7 different kinds of USB ports
[object Object]@flacs @whitequark you can’t plug your printer into Lightning Gaming, that’s illegal
Passwordsarehard4@passwordsarehard4 @flacs @whitequark unfortunately that’s not very lightning and it therefore violates the Lightning Gaming RFC:
- MUST be lightning (SHOULD NOT be the Apple one though)
- MUST be gaming
- SHOULD implement USB (version not specified)
(where the key words “MUST”, “SHOULD”, and “SHOULD NOT” are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119)

jordan@jernej__s i think you can just put two 2.5G chips together
The Lack ThereofMost of these I see are getting 5gbps by ignoring the chipset's integrated ethernet and adding a discrete Realtek chip like the RTL8126

I'm on the opposite side of this spectrum, I find it hard to justify even the gigabit ones for personal use 😅
I'm mostly into text content on the Internet and I only get reminded of maximum network throughputs when I need to copy large amounts of video before going somewhere for more than a couple of days/nights — even in this case, storage is usually the main bottleneck 🤷

@kaia@brotka.st @flacs@mastodon.social
@m0xEE @kaia @flacs Yeah, I realize I work with some edge cases. At work we have a big video SAN/library system and have to transfer great gobs of gigabytes back and forth for video editing and production, so I have actually been in the situation of staring at a transfer running over gigabit lan and thinking "this is taking a while"
@vxo@digipres.club
True, there are certainly use cases for that — especially in video production, in this case you can also afford SSD-based mirrored arrays to keep the storage end covered. But for personal use IDK — modern wireless standards, even those are more than enough for most of my needs.

3A29 (Abandoned account)@flacs what the actual fuck is a "lightning gaming" USB port
@soweliniko @flacs Would like to know that, too.
@soweliniko @flacs I did find this picture, which raises more questions than it answers.

Phil@jernej__s @soweliniko @flacs Per the block diagram it's a separate ASM3042 controller connected via PCIE x1 with two ports. (So not one controller per port wasting even more lanes.) Instead of being directly attached to the Intel 800 chipset. So, sure, it's not attached to the root complexes of the chipset but uh... Although apparently you can passthrough this controller independently into VMs... :>
@soweliniko @flacs @jernej__s I wonder if there's an argument around "if the USB controller of the chipset crashes it won't take down those two ports". But the marketing material doesn't make sense to me either.
@soweliniko @flacs @phil Yup, especially because mouse and keyboard use so much bandwidth that they cause bus congestion!
Mr. Encyclopedia@jernej__s @soweliniko @flacs USB controllers, famously incapable of handing input from both a mouse AND a keyboard.
kandi3kan3@jernej__s @soweliniko @flacs What I have deduced from this picture is that running a Saleae Logic or SDR is the most lightning™ gamer™ thing you can do.
Having separate USB controllers and root ports is actually beneficial, but the marketing team is definitely doing... uhh... that.

Elias Mårtenson@jernej__s @soweliniko @flacs there's some audiophile-level misrepresentation of technology right there.

It brings you the power of the dark side, so you can use lightnings like Lord Palpatine.

Maverynthia🌱It supposed to be low latency, probably USB 3.0. But it seems anything plugged into them can't access uEFI.
Chris Chen, Personal Meal Estate Corp@flacs @gsuberland more like specific serial bus
@flacs @gsuberland also see: "ambiguous serial bus"
Graham Sutherland / Polynomial@secretasianman @flacs unending serial buses
@gsuberland @flacs undecided serial bus, just wants to hear more about the issues why is this so hard HI-SPEED

@flacs And 5G
Jonas Köritz@flacs it's missing the display port and thunderbolt enabled ones 😁 if you really want to you'll be able to maybe go up to 10 🫣

We need a D-Sub COM port for mice and an AT connector for keyboards.

What about the serial port for the printer? 🖨️
