I actually prefer the standardization here. Sick of having 2 boxes of different cords.
I'm good with it to be honest. One port that can do it all. Not proprietary.
The longer we keep including legacy ports the longer they'll stick around on peripheral devices
Manufactures won't change until forced. The transition period might be a bit painful, but worth it.
That's what happens when designers boss engineers around. Form over function is pure cancer and it's becoming pervasive in our civilization due to the overwhelming ubiquity of propaganda(marketing). I have nothing but contempt for these trends.
And everyone went ahead and purchased it anyway.
Companies always chase profit, if people would stop buying shittified products companies would stop enshittifying them.
USB-C is awesome though. I carry one charger amd dongle for HDMI and ethernet. It serves my many devices including Steam Deck, phone and laptop.
Look how they massacred my boy.
This pic leaves out the latest generation of MacBook that brings back some of those ports.
I guess OP would rather generate outrage upvotes, rather than spread the truth.
Well do you sell me a docking station with that laptop?
Or are you going to let me get buy some adapter dongles?
How about more USB c ports?
Yes, they should totally bring back the firewire port!
