As long as Thunderbolt is enabled. If I'm not mistaken disabling Thunderbolt completely should be a viable workaround. It's essentially the same situation we had with Firewire: Just blacklist the driver and all should be good.
As DisplayPort Alternate Mode for USB-C is nowadays used a lot to connect to external displays, instead of the approach Apple chose to tunnel DisplayPort over Thunderbolt, Thunderbolt is probably not even relevant for most users outside of the Apple universe.
- gumby 8y ago> Thunderbolt is probably not even relevant for most users outside of the Apple universe. Actually not the case -- the TB chipsets are from Intel and promoted by them. TB drives are pretty fast and great to use if you can afford them. TB external GPUs are useful for ML too (not sure if anyone is using them for actual rendering; that's outside my field of experience).
- xpaulbettsx 8y agoTo an extent - many laptops and nearly all desktops don't have Thunderbolt at all. TB external GPUs are probably the main use-case for the technology today (people indeed do use them for rendering)
