Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.... but I guess we could settle for just ordinary evidence, if you could care to provide some. Because, in its absence, what you wrote doesn't ring at all true.

True, but SX used to stand (officially? dunno) for Singleword Xchange, as it had a 16 bit bus. DX was Doubleword Xchange, hence 32bit bus. Then in the 486, the bus was always 32-bit (at least from Intel. I have a faint memory of Cyrix 486SL

Trolls have a reasonably large amount of money to burn if necessary, and they normally try to get their victims to settle before things reach any court. So no, this won't stop trolls, it will only deter a lot of legitimate cases from

I strongly disagree. They didn't cave in to a minority, they gave Ive the boot and are finally putting back so many ports they know they should never have removed. Why they shouldn't have been removed? Because USB-C is awesome and
