       What happened to the PORTs in portable devices? Greed happened. Nobody wanted this future.They're called PORTable Devices for a Reasonhttps://dallincrump.com/theyre-called-portable-devices-for-a-reason#100DaysToOffload (No. 28)#tech #bigtech

       @dallin I think the greed may lie with many of the peripherals...I suspect some nerds over at #Apple started this trend of moving towards smaller, more powerful ports, and fewer of them, because not only are the ports better, but they assumed everyone would adopt the new standards. Alas, those selling the peripherals refused to switch to new ports or wireless technology, selling dongles and adapters instead as adapters for their adapters.

       @dallin Sounds like a Mac issue. My devices have enough ports for me.

       @PublicLewdness other manufacturers like Dell are following this trend.

       @dallin Don't think Dell has Coreboot/Libreboot support so was never going to look at them anyway.

       @dallin@fosstodon.org All of this just so devices can be 2mm thinner.

       @dallin@fosstodon.org It should be call something like 'smallification' (the act of making things progressively smaller. i know it's a made up word but idc) #🤔
