Firewire was awesome, and so was thunderbolt. Do you like USB-C? Cause that’s how we got there.
Couldn’t agree more. FireWire’s Direct Memory Access was such a game changer for scrubbing video footage right from the camera.
There’s plenty of reasons to hate Apple but their I/O has always been outstanding.
Core Audio, for instance, is practically magic. Absurdly low latency with no need for device drivers with hardware that’s class compliant. Just plug it in over USB-C.
That’s fucking goddamn right
So was Thunderbolt? I thought it was still a thing?
It is still a thing. Many Laptops still have USB-C ports supporting Thunderbolt
Still around, but it’s no longer being actively developed. All effort is going into USB-C and turning it into what it was supposed to be 25 years ago.
