The dongles. OMG. It's worse than the parallel printer age. I cannot recall another period in history where I needed a dongle so often. USB-C only on Macbooks was such a huge design mistake. Especially in the era of USB-A! Soooooo many things are still USB-A. All for a little more thinness! It's really grating.
- noobermin 5y agoUSB C and the removal of headphone jacks are an example of how not everything in American society is "market driven" but can easily be imposed on the whole market and consumers by a single big player.
- evilsetg 5y agoHow is that? There are still plenty of devices with USB A/Headphone jack available. Apple devices are far from the "whole market".
