    My work gave me a 2024 MBP which has 2 usb-cs, a headphone jack and the magnetic power doodad on the left, 2 more usb-cs, an HDMI and a fuggin full-size SD card slot on the right. Nature is healing, I guess? I’d rather have a Framework running Linux…

      Yeah, even Apple had to walk that one back. Although you do have to pay for the more powerful machine to get those ports. It’s just an Apple thing to do. Take away a cheap thing for everyone and then make you pay handsomely for what you used to get by default.

    I’m impressed with how strongly people feel about this, I see that loosing ports is not nice, but USBC is dope as hell and in my eyes that makes up for a lot of the loss of of I/o, not the headphone Jack though, that one hurts a lot.

    I honestly don’t mind combining the power and USB-c port - all my stuff is usb-c at this point.

    But there are just somethings that are usb-a. And I want HDMI for my external monitor.
