tgaj probably just hasn't paid any attention to hardware in years but still feels like he should talk about it with confidence.
The first USB standard to incorporate Thunderbolt functionality is USB 4.
the point i made is just as true though, as the announcement that thunderbolt switched to the usb-c form-factor is 6yrs old now. (and was even linked to from someone else in this thread!)

Stop calling people dumb until you can make a comment that is at least somewhat correct and on-topic.
