      So now we need to buy dongles for something that should be standard on a computer?

      Next thing we’ll need a dongle for the power button, because Apple decided that shouting “POWER ON APPLE” is the better way to turn on a laptop.

        Stop whining so much, no one’s telling you to use a dongle, there’s nothing wrong with USB-C slowly replacing USB-A and becoming a new standard.

        We’d never be rid of VGA if we were listening to the ever nagging old dorks that can’t get themselves an adapter.

          Thank you, I was just about to write a lengthy paragraph about serial ports being the only standard ever needed 😅

            Psh you youngsters with your fancy serial ports! Tin cans with string were good enough for my grandparents and they’re good enough for me!
