So I'm not the only one pissed off. At least this.

What annoys me even more is that one of my monitors is capable of daisy chaining thunderbolt. But MacOS isn't. It would be the perfect solution, but no. Apple doesn't like it.

Don’t worry, I can’t get Windows 10 to daisy chain my work’s Viewsonic daisy chain-able displays either (they have a built in dock). Stuck plugging in one to USB-C and one to HDMI.

Ah, "good" 🙄

Lol, exactly. Just sharing in the pain.

That’s odd considering they MADE a daisy-chaining monitor…

I'm sure that has nothing to do with money and Apple creating hurdles for competition to jump over /s
