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.

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.
