It's good that you stay home when sick, but just FYI, you can have covid without realizing it. Roughly 1 in 5 cases never get symptoms but are still contagious. That's one of the reasons lockdowns were so effective. We couldn't just rely on people staying away when they are sick because they might have it without the sickness. Fuck covid

I guess that is where our opinions differ. I find USB A doesn't work fine, and is a pain in the ass that I only use because I have to.

If you actually look at those results when searching USB C you will see that they are nearly all either cheap no name products or come with a dongle (the thing I want to avoid). But back to the customers will change naturally thing, that wont happen until they have the choice. I could see your argument making sense if all manufacturers decided to make every product in both styles for 5 years to see what everone wants to use, but that isn't going to happen. People will choose devices for what they have, and what they have is nearly 0 USB C ports on everything.

IF 50% of mainstream brand peripherals and IF motherboard manufacturers actually had more than a single USB C port (if any) surrounded by half a dozen USB A ports, people might actually have a choice. Right now its buy USB A or go to dongle hell, which I very much dislike.

If customers really want USB-C, they’ll buy USB-C peripherals and USB-A will drop off naturally.

How? If there are basically no USB-C peripherals, how are people going to buy them to show their support? One side needs to start first so the other will get on board, otherwise people will just stick to USB-A because there is no other real option. Apple is trying, and they are usually the trendsetters in the tech space, but it doesn't seem like the rest of the market is jumping on board like the usually do.

The people can't decide if there isn't anything to decide on.

The more its held onto on devices, the more things will just keep using it. If we had ditched USB A on new devices (desktop motherboards included) companies would start actually releasing USB C peripherals and other devices. Think mouse dongles, keyboards, speakers, etc.

I honestly wish every company would just stop using USB A. So many companies still including it are preventing device manufacturers from going all in on C.

Just speak to anyone who works at an MSP. Thin clients are very commonly used.

Yeeeah, none of those are particularly hostile sounding to me. He just doesn't like the platform and is stating so. Notice how he didn't say something like "Anyone who likes BlueSky can fuck right off". He shared his opinion on an inanimate webpage, thats all.

What about his comment is hostile?

As a Canadian, the idea of a garbage disposal in a sink has always been insane to me. It can be hard to believe that Americans just grind up stuff and send it down their sink drain.
