Fades is either drinking Apple flavor Kool-Aid or has been fully brainwashed by apple into thinking everything is okay because a company said "you don't care, you're stuck here with us."
It's really sad how people will bootlick for any company once they bought enough products.
Hey there Mr. Debs!! You're actually one of my heroes. You led a complicated life, but I seriously admire your commitment to a meaningful social safety net for everyone.
That said, I quite dislike Apple, and have never in my life purchased one of their products for a myriad of reasons. But I do believe that Fade is factually correct in what they say. The consolidation of funtions into new ports and communication standards isn't something inherently worth railing against.
Do I think they executed that consolidation particularly well? Hell no. But let's not paint our fellow Blahaj as bootlickers for making and presenting a factually sound argument.
With love,
Look how they massacred my boy.
And everyone went ahead and purchased it anyway.
Companies always chase profit, if people would stop buying shittified products companies would stop enshittifying them.
USB-C does a lot of heavy lifting. Also, MagSafe™ is still there. A little surprised there is also a SD card slot. And a HDMI port. Not complaining about their inclusion, and I do use them regularly, but why did the dongle company give these to us?
I'm on the other side wishing peripherals would catch up and all become USB-C already. I'm tired of USB-A.
The new (not that new anymore) macbook PROs do have separate DC input, HDMI, SD card slot and HDMI. And to be honest, for an average computer user those ports are pretty useless, however if you do need them it comes at a rather steep premium.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
