If I'm in a situation where it's Apple or failure, I will gladly fail.

They have a lot of nerve using a USB standard that's only 12 years old

USB-A is the common standard. Most devices are made with USB-A compatibility. Most portable media are USB-A.

I'm not even going after the vast majority of my hard stops when I pick technology, like the fact that there's no proper (S)VGA and no full-size DisplayPort (and I mean proper DisplayPort, not an "HDMI" plug into a DisplayPort interface), or the lack of a hardware switch to fully disable power to all onboard radio and modem devices.

So mad that my modern laptop doesn't have a DIMM port, how am I supposed to use my 1992 era keyboard?

[–] Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 3 hours ago

You mean DIN, not DIMM. DIMM is RAM. DIN is PS/2 and others. As far as how I use my old boards and trackballs, PS/2 to USB-A 1.0.
