   Is there such a thing as a USB4 adapter that plugs into a USB3 slot and provides stuff like Thunderbolt support in software? :blobfoxthink:

     @daihard I was thinking that Thunderbolt could be tunneled over USB.

     @tk Does a USB 3 port support Thunderbolt, to begin with?

     @tk You're right. Looks like it's cables and end devices that matter rather than the connectors themselves.
     
     "Various USB standards, including USB 3.2 and USB4, also use the USB-C connector type, and these cables and ports are cross-compatible with Thunderbolt™ 4. When devices with different capabilities are connected, the connection will only support the lowest common data rate. For example, you can plug a USB 3.2 cable into a Thunderbolt™ 4 port, and the port will negotiate data, power, and video signal capabilities with the connected device at a USB 3.2 level."
