I haven't used USB-A single time since 2018... My USB-C display has it on its hub, but who cares...

  The vast majority of peripherals available at ordinary stores are still usb-a. If you just run into Target to grab [some peripheral] most or all options in that category will be usb-a.

    Yeah but does anybody buy it? In my store the peripherals are covered in dust... And it's some cheap Chinese knockoff, nothing like the old high quality ones.

      Yes? My company’s mostly Windows and the peripherals issued are all brand new and are all usb-a. We Mac weirdos have to dongle constantly or not use them. Even the non-Apple major brand Bluetooth wireless earbuds they issue have a usb-a plug on the end of the charging cable for the case.

        I was scared of getting a Mac for years because of the dongles. Then I got one from work (they even gave me the dongle and I made fun of it) and turns out I never use any of it. And then I realized the USB-A port on my desktop front panel has been broken probably for years and I didn't notice.

          Oh, so you just don't use peripherals at all. That is not a very common scenario.
          • throwaway1105q 2y ago
            I do, but it's all wireless. My laptop and desktop both have Bluetooth.

  Not even just to plug in a joke gift? I got a gigantic Escape key once, which connected on a usb-A port. Most of that peripheral stuff still uses it.

    Hahaha, that's a cool one. But yeah I never got something like that.
