Ah, the great cable simplification. We went from needing a toolbox full of serial, parallel, VGA, PS/2, and power connectors—each with their own special way of refusing to plug in correctly—to just USB-C.

Sure, now we can power a monitor, transfer data, and charge a device with one cable... but we've traded 15 different cables for 15 different dongles. Progress, I guess? At least we can finally plug it in correctly on the third try instead of the fourth.
