This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Its capable of some pretty high bandwidths, there's some extra hardware required to make the ports work for thunderbolt. But I think it just runs through the normal USB-C pins.

Its more like an internal switch, rather than emulation. At least the Wikipedia page mentions different pin configurations per usage mode...

I asked a slop machine and it said that Thunderbolt is implemented in the PCIe/Displayport hardware mode of the USB. I then checked the wikipedia and it more or less aligned with that interpretation
