On: The impossible dream of USB-C

[jeromenerf]

Right hand side is always on, even when the computer is asleep.

There is actually a convenient color code, at least on thinkpads, where black means usb2, yellow means alwayson and blue means usb3.

Colors on the exterior of a macbook? Hell will freeze over before that happens. (The color code is universal btw, not just on thinkpads)

The newer ones don't have the color coding anymore, they're all just black, and the always-on ones have an additional symbol under the SS<USB> symbol.
