Yeah, functionality between these varies, I know some of them can tell you what capabilities the cable’s chip spits out.

An example I randomly picked:

These days a ~10€ gadget can tell you about the electricity going through a USB connection and what the cable is capable of. I don’t like the idea of basically requiring this to get that knowledge, but considering the limited space on the USB-C plugs I’m not sure anything is likely to improve about their labeling.

So what’s the allowance for people’s homes in your world? Two rooms and one more for each kid?

Housing should be more controlled, but "need’ will always be a fuzzy term if you still want to allow individuals to have different levels of wealth. Nobody needs a huge home, either. Two or three rooms, actually…maybe a little more with kids.
