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

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.

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

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

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

Hey remember that tried and true universal plug-in that literally works on everything and everybody loves? Lets not have that anymore.

I know Apple is terrible with usability, but I also think USB-C is now the one that works everywhere. All my last USB stick purchases had USB-A and C, just so that I don’t have to run away in tears. I can even use them with smartphones and those never had USB-A.
Cethin@lemmy.zip 5 hours ago
It’s the new standard, but there should always be at least one USB-A. It’s still incredibly common.
Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 4 hours ago
Both USB-C and USB-A have their pros and cons.
USB-C has a lot more bandwidth and power draw.
USB-A is sturdier and cheaper.
For things like a mouse or keyboard, having more bandwidth or power draw are useless, but being cheaper and sturdier are not.
One can not replace the other entirely. Apple just wants to milk everyone by forcing them to buy all their peripherals again.

And I have about 20 USB-A flash drives, up to 128GB, that I should just toss in the trash because…why exactly? Because they are “old”?

my home computer has no USB-C and I can’t afford to upgrade because gestures broadly.

Where could we go wrong? We might never know … but it for sure isn’t because of cult-like loyalty to a single company notorious for doing this. It’s a mystery

Remember folks, apple onyl has usb c because they were forced to
piccolo@sh.itjust.works 19 minutes ago
In apple’s defense, they wanted a reversible high speed connector, but the USB committee in their infinite wisdom was like “what if we added a tumor to the micro USB instead?”
Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 4 hours ago
They were forced to have one, they were not forced to remove everything else.
That is solely on them.
Footer1998@crazypeople.online 6 hours ago
fuck apple but you’re kinda mistaken here, if you’re talking about just iphone, maybe you’re right - but they had usb c (actually thunderbolt) on macbook and ipad before any legal rulings, macbooks before there was even any hint of legislation iirc.

usb c (actually thunderbolt)
aren’t these different tech stacks and connectors?
kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 hours ago
iPhones only have USB-C because they were forced to, but MacBooks were some of the very early adopters of the connector, and iPads also picked it up well before the requirement.
B0rax@feddit.org 8 hours ago
The Huawei phone likely has usb c as well. Just use a cable…

20 MB limit. But let’s be honest, pretty much every company uses some form of cloud-storage. Physical media is rarely used any more.

They make A AND C flash drives:
I have one on my keyring.
I have another that also takes SD cards, so it makes it super simple to file transfer between all my things
thebestaquaman@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
Because after, what, …40? years of internet, the most convenient way to move a large file between two computers on the same network is, usually, to put it on a physical drive and move it. That, or upload it to cloud storage, then have the other person download it.
It’s unfathomable to me that we still don’t have a universally accepted and implemented protocol/utility for “send this file over wifi to this other machine on the same network”. I’m aware that there are plenty of ways to do this, but the fact that it’s typically easier to upload a 10 GB file to cloud storage for the person next to you to download it (or move it via a flash drive) is easier than just sending it directly. It boggles my mind that sending files over the local network isn’t some extremely simple cross-platform feature that any machine can access through a utility as accessible as connecting to the wifi-network.
Just to reiterate: I’m very aware that this is easily possible for anyone with a little tech-backround. My point is that it isn’t the go-to method for most people, and I just can’t understand why…
Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 4 hours ago
Yeah, they come in very handy.
You can even transfer files from a desktop to a phone with these.
And if one port breaks, the other still functions.
