I'm staring at the ports on a USB-C dock and wondering where the world went wrong. Apart from five USB-A jacks (1.5A power), there are six identical-looking jacks. Three are Thunderbolt 4, but one can deliver 98W and the other two only 15W. The other three are labeled “USB-c 3.2 Gen2 (10Gb/s)”—but one front-panel jack delivers either 5V/3A or 9V/2.22A (20W), while the other two are 1.5A (7.5W, implying 5V). Huh?
