Wait... when did you ever need to turn off your PC before you can unplug your mouse or keyboard? Did people genuinely used to need to do this? When? Why?

It's a solid rebuttal, especially when talking about cables (even certified cables are often bullshit), BUT USB-C testers are cheap and you can quickly assess which standards are available for a given cable/port combo.

Still the fact that both USB and HDMI boards thought the current situation was appropriate pisses me off.

Despite all its problems, USB and especially USB-C have been a blessing.

Scart is missing. Well i'm not sure anyone misses that jank

Understandable omission. It was only really in use in PAL regions.

Plugging that in by touch was always good for a laugh.

Oh such a crisp picture though, when compared to the rf coax.

I still use toslink. How else am I supposed to get audio to my DAC?

When USB-C was still new, there was the possibility of an out of spec cable to kill your device. That's, I think, slightly more inconvenient than said device not charging fast enough or not offloading cat pictures at the bitrate you expect.

Aux plug still exists on PC's, same as display port, USB A and HDMI.

I'm just glad modern cables aren't modeled after grappling hooks
