    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!
