That’s the issue then. You think it’s boomers who dont like change as opposed to capitalists removing functionality to sell it back to you in a separate package. I would aregue its zoomers not being able to identify when they are being conned.
Lol, I would literally choose 4x thunderbolt multi function ports than 10x dedicated only one use case ports. Not because of capitalism but because of functionality.
Ok. Cool, but like i said, your use case and the person you responded to are obviously different.
That doesnt have to be “because boomer” or be someone is objectively right or wrong. Because thats not the issue.
You are just trying to be right about something that is completely subjective.
I argued that taking the ports away and replacing them with usb ports is not as cut and dry as sayi g that is better. It depends on your own personal needs.
I accept that a port that can be anything you want is great and may have some advantages over a dedicated port that has only one function. But there are downsides.
You need to carry around a bunch of adapters to get what you need. You are limited to those 4 ports. Remember that most laptops had multiple usb ports alongside multiple display and audio ports so you have lost more than ypu have gained.
You also are still limited to 4 devices or you need a docking station which adds more bulk. And that docking station has limited power unless you connect an external power source.
I feel like you are looking at your needs and severely oversimplifying this debate. Which isnt helpful and doesnt make you right by default.
You travel with one dongle where up to 10 devices can be plugged in in various ports
