And while that sounds like a small change, it\u2019s more useful than you probably think.<\/p>\n<p>These days USB-C cables come in different lengths, not to mention different specs for features, including displaying video, data transfer speeds, or charging rates. For example, there are USB-C PD (Power Delivery) cables, and features like USB4 and Thunderbolt require a cable to meet a particular specification.<\/p>\n<p>If you bought a cheap random USB-C cable off of Amazon, eBay, or a nearby gas station, there\u2019s a good chance it will be incompatible with some of your Chromebook\u2019s features.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1508px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-119371 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/05\/dac64f43.jpg\" alt=\"Chrome OS USB-C alert\" width=\"1508\" height=\"866\" data-credittext=\"Google\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Google<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For now, this handy software change will only work with newer Chromebooks running Intel\u2019s 11th or 12th Gen CPUs, but it sounds like more devices will get it later down the road.<\/p>\n<p>In a blog post today, Google confirmed the feature by saying, \u201cEligible Chromebooks will notify you if the USB-C cable you\u2019re using won\u2019t support displays or isn\u2019t performing ideally for your laptop.\u201d For example, you\u2019ll get a notification\u201d if the cable you\u2019re using doesn\u2019t support the high-performance USB4 \/ Thunderbolt 3 standards that your Chromebook does.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If a user tries to connect a USB-C cable and use a Chromebook on an external display, but the cable doesn\u2019t support that feature, you\u2019ll get a notification similar to the one shown above. That way, owners won\u2019t have to troubleshoot or wonder why things aren\u2019t working, and they\u2019ll know to get a new cable.<\/p>\n<p>Google recently added a similar feature to Android Auto, where it can alert users to faulty cables and other problems.<\/p>\n<p><small>via <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/cursive-pwa-expands-usb-cable-warnings-chrome-os\/\">AndroidPolice<\/a><\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
