Problem: This is what happens when you pick Apple.

I actually prefer the standardization here. Sick of having 2 boxes of different cords.

That's what happens when designers boss engineers around. Form over function is pure cancer and it's becoming pervasive in our civilization due to the overwhelming ubiquity of propaganda(marketing). I have nothing but contempt for these trends.

I'm good with it to be honest. One port that can do it all. Not proprietary.

The longer we keep including legacy ports the longer they'll stick around on peripheral devices

Manufactures won't change until forced. The transition period might be a bit painful, but worth it.

Fades is either drinking Apple flavor Kool-Aid or has been fully brainwashed by apple into thinking everything is okay because a company said "you don't care, you're stuck here with us."

It's really sad how people will bootlick for any company once they bought enough products.

USB-C is awesome though. I carry one charger amd dongle for HDMI and ethernet. It serves my many devices including Steam Deck, phone and laptop.

Yes, they should totally bring back the firewire port!

This pic leaves out the latest generation of MacBook that brings back some of those ports.

I guess OP would rather generate outrage upvotes, rather than spread the truth.
