Yeah it’s a weirdly written article if it’s just comparing the OMG cable to regular ones. Doesn’t really explain well what they’re trying to say.

I’m not sure I understand what you’re trying to ask.

The cable exists for malicious purposes. That’s the purpose of the cable.

The article seems to be just comparing it to standard cables which just have the circuitry for charging. Since this cable has additional capabilities, can host its own wifi network, etc. it needs additional controllers and antennae to support that.

Actually reading more of the article… It seems like the author doesn’t really know what the OMG cable is and is trying to frame it as some sort of unexpected thing. Comparing it to a standard USB cable makes no sense.

I mean… Yeah… That’s what the cable is designed for.

Cool images through.

I always assume rebrands are attempts to cover up something.

Unless they coincide with an entire board of directors change, it’s bullshit.
