How do they come up with the most confusing naming schemes on the planet? You would think that making it easy to identify which product is which would boost sales, or someone at least has the sanity to make it easy to understand.
(i.e. CPUs, laptop processors, USB standard, most smartphones, monitors, anything made by Sony that’s not a Playstation…)
I really only see that with electronics and mechanical parts. Maybe it’s because they just make so many slightly different variants, and the average person using the parts aren’t necessarily the ones buying and installing the parts, it’s just easier to give them a serial number instead of an easy to remember name?
