Sacrifices On The Altar Of Sleek

Sacrifices On The Altar Of Sleek
The AUDACITY of laptop manufacturers! First they MURDERED our precious PS/2 ports, then VGA got BRUTALLY slaughtered, HDMI is bleeding out, and USB-A is literally being STABBED TO DEATH as we speak! And for what?! So the Grim Reaper of connectivity can knock on the 3.5mm jack's door next?! THE HORROR! 💀 Meanwhile, we're all frantically buying dongles like apocalypse survivors hoarding canned beans. "But it's 0.02mm thinner!" they say, as if that justifies this PORT GENOCIDE. I'm typing this from a laptop that's basically just a screen with attitude and NOTHING ELSE!

The Great Cable Extinction

The Great Cable Extinction
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.

USB: The Ultimate Shape Sorting Challenge

USB: The Ultimate Shape Sorting Challenge
Turns out those childhood shape sorters weren't just toys—they were USB insertion simulators. We spent years shoving squares into triangular holes only to grow up and still need three attempts to plug in a USB. The universe's most sophisticated training program, and we all failed spectacularly. At least modern USB-C is reversible, so now we only need two attempts instead of three.

Look What They Took From Us

Look What They Took From Us
The great port extinction of our time! This meme perfectly captures the devolution of laptop design from "Swiss Army knife of connectivity" to "hope you enjoy carrying dongles for the rest of your life." Modern laptops went from having every port imaginable to basically two identical USB-C ports that require you to carry an adapter the size of a small country. Minimalism is great until you need to connect literally anything. The bottom MacBook is practically begging "please sir, may I have some more ports?" while the top one is like "we heard you like dongles, so we removed everything else."
