USB-C is a really bad connector for laptops to displays specifically. I feel like the port or the cable start to break way too soon because there's nothing securing the cable. Bring back VGA screw in thingies. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

badposting is a comm where you post badly
This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.
Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?
Rules:
- Do not post good posts.
- Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
- Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.
Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

My main issue with the USB-c is that it's used for all sorts of different standards with piss poor labeling to go with it. Does it support PD? Which data standard is it? Oh whoops no thwy made it USB 2.0 to save money fuck you.
Even USB c charging don't support all formats. There are devices at my work that refuse to charge on an iPad USB c charger, but will charge on pc connected USB c. I also have a 65 watt USB c charger at home, that will not charge some low power USBC devices.
This is down to the USB PD standard which requires some degree of communication between device and charger to negotiate the charge rate so dumb devices that just want the 5V 1A from standard USB won't charge as they can't communicate.
Being still USB, the default is still 5V @ 1A even if the device won’t communicate or doesn’t support PD.
