Thunderbolt Memes

Behold the tragic evolution of Apple's MacBook lineup, where each generation is blessed with FEWER ports than the last, like some kind of twisted minimalist nightmare. We went from a glorious buffet of USB-A, HDMI, Ethernet, Thunderbolt, SD card slots, and headphone jacks to... *checks notes* ...two measly USB-C ports. COURAGE, they called it. Meanwhile, developers are out here carrying around a dongle collection that rivals a janitor's keychain just to plug in a mouse and an external monitor simultaneously. The top MacBook is basically screaming "look what they took from you!" while flexing its port abundance like a bodybuilder showing off gains. RIP to the days when you could actually connect things to your laptop without needing a PhD in adapter logistics or a second mortgage for dongles.
