An elegant port for a more civilized time

Nothing civilized about no hot plugging. Had to restart the whole damn computer, if the cable was loose or out at startup.

I’m pretty sure it doesn’t hot plug for anyone. Yes, even the very skilled.

I loved the PCs that had Ctrl + up as a shortcut to flip the monitor orientation. I think it was a Dell thing?

My favourite prank was to flip the screen upside down then unplug the keyboard. Good luck saving your work fuck face

I wanna say there’s a Windows hotkey for that now.

Maybe, but it's just not the same if you can plug your keyboard back in and fix it. CURSE YOU USB

If you only knew the power of the hot plug!

[-] Spaniard@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I know hot plug is a path to many abilities some considering to be unnatural!

Hokey connections and ancient peripherals are no match for a good dongle at your side, kid.
