This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Bro, just get an A-C Adapter. They are like 20cents und always useful, especially if you have old hardware

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!
