lightning is p sick imo

could it be better? not much

maybe
higher girth, a thicker stem.


inhouse name is lightning 2.0 : chode of thunder

but to the public it is simply known as New Lightning



anyway. a few more contacts and a thicker girth. but other than that just the same as lighting. more like a rod than a slot unlike usb3 which is a docking mechanism

I kinda like usb3
but it would be better if instead the entire globe settled on this standard I have just shared

those d-sub connectors with the mini-coax pins are pretty sweet. i'd invent endless variations of those

Imo one end should be magsafe, the other should be clamped into place with a lever that makes a satisfying clunk each time.

i propose a large round receptacle, which has ten small "fingers" on the inside. one of the fingers has a ring for keying.

it needs to have a large locking lever that makes a satisfying cachunk noise
