What’s rather ironic is my Linux FOSS setup is more compatible than ever because it can open my students .notes and .pages files, while MS Word couldn’t.
And naturally, I’m proud of using FOSS so I guess I’m proud to be compatible with everything.

What are you using for .pages? I have .docx covered but have a backlog I planned to convert someday.

My Mac studio m2 was the only computer I ever had that had compatibility issues with some USB cables
People talk about Apple hardware like it’s incredible, but honestly, no pc manufacturer would make that mistake

compatibility issues with some USB cables
I’d like to hear more about this. I have a theory that as great as USB-C is for consistency, the fact that it shares a connector with Thunderbolt (to say nothing about the different versions of Thunderbolt) introduces a level of uncertainly when looking at a USB-C connector.
- it can be a “charge-only” cable (USB 2.0)
- it can charge slowly, or quickly
- it can be a USB-C cable
- it can be Thunderbolt 3 / USB 4.0
- it can be active, or passive
- it can be Thunderbolt 4
- it can be Thunderbolt 5
I’m certainly not trying to discount your experience. I’m sure you ran into significant problems. But in general I continue to believe that the general public may not have the right “flavor” of USB-C cable to do what they are trying to do in a given situation.

It’s nothing to do with the standard I believe
The same cables and adapters all worked when I used them on my nuc for the same devices, and they wouldn’t even work with my mouse on the Mac studio.
My suspicion is that the shell of the case is a bit thick (as the port is recessed behind it), so some cables just failed to touch fully. As, some cables felt more snug and clicked into the port better
For the cost of the computer, it damned sure shouldn’t have that issue
Even worse, for the price of the computer, the power button should be on front, not buried on the back. That’s overcomplicating things for the sake of doing so

I dunno, isn’t it kinda pointless to compare a stroke with brain cancer? Sure, you can have preferences, but they’re both horrible.

Nah. Ad blocking is shit. There’s no revanced or morphe or whatnot. Many things are better, but too many things are worse.

Google automatically screens and blocks spam calls. That alone is enough for me to put it above Apple.
