Yeah, Universal Spower Bus. Sounds right. I was reading the “power” part emphasized in the comment you replied to. Prior to mass adoption by phone mfrs, USB wasn’t powering all that much. You’d usually have 5v wall wart and cable ending in a barrel connector. Hate those things.
I’m not really sure what that means. The original A/B specification did not allow for much variable voltage. It’s only universal in name, not in nature. There was absolutely no way to deal with high voltage devices, the cables were not adaptive.
USB 4.0 specification allows for powering things like electrical drills. No way the original USB A/B specification can handle that.
You are right to an extent but the context of its original universality is in the rest of the name. Universal serial bus. The idea was a universal port for dealing with data and connections not neccesarily power.
Yeah, it’s not like the U stands for Universal or something.

I chuckled more than I would like to admit about that spelled out USB name, dunno, it’s funny
The Universal Spower Bus
sounds like an awesome transit vehicle!
Let’s take a ride!
Edit: Spower is a contraction of Space and Power. Yes, you heard me right. It’s running on spinfinite space power!
And there you have it,

As long as it’s a serial bus

And yet it still can’t retingulate droopglers. Pathetic.
