What's rather ironic is my Linux FOSS setup is more compatible than ever because it can open my students .notes and .pages files, while MS Word couldn't.

And naturally, I'm proud of using FOSS so I guess I'm proud to be compatible with everything.

My Mac studio m2 was the only computer I ever had that had compatibility issues with some USB cables

People talk about Apple hardware like it's incredible, but honestly, no pc manufacturer would make that mistake

If I'm in a situation where it's Apple or failure, I will gladly fail.

Hey remember that tried and true universal plug-in that literally works on everything and everybody loves? Lets not have that anymore.

[–] red_bull_of_juarez@lemmy.dbzer0.com 116 points 1 week ago (34 children)

I know Apple is terrible with usability, but I also think USB-C is now the one that works everywhere. All my last USB stick purchases had USB-A and C, just so that I don't have to run away in tears. I can even use them with smartphones and those never had USB-A.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 40 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's the new standard, but there should always be at least one USB-A. It's still incredibly common.

[–] fartsparkles@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (5 children)

USB-C is over 11 years old.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 22 points 1 week ago (6 children)

And? Is there something newer that's a standard? If not, it's the new one.

Also, it's only recently become the de facto standard. Yes, it's older than that, but it didn't become the standard until maybe five years ago. So much was still being made for USB-A, and some things still are. Anything older than ~5 years ago has good odds of being A.

Remember folks, apple onyl has usb c because they were forced to

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They were forced to have one, they were not forced to remove everything else.

That is solely on them.

fuck apple but you're kinda mistaken here, if you're talking about just iphone, maybe you're right - but they had usb c (actually thunderbolt) on macbook and ipad before any legal rulings, macbooks before there was even any hint of legislation iirc.

Man, you are the superior one, because you are still using a real Computer

A macbook is a real computer.

[–] 5ha99y@lemmus.org 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Arguably, if it has a true linux distro on it, because MacOS is restricting a lot of its capabilities. I know it at least for iOS.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What does macos restrict?

[–] greyscale@lemmy.grey.ooo 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

not real linux, so no native docker development.

Also the UI of the OS is turbo liquid ass.

I'm being forced into it by my employer.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago

I agree with you on the UI, it used to be really good, but they fucked it up with liquid glass. I actually like liquid glass, but it's far better on mobile than desktop. Tahoe as a whole is disappointing. The docker thing doesn't really seem like a fault or restriction of macos itself.

I just have USB-C to USB-A adapter, for this kind of problems, and the reverse adapter as well.

Just get a usbC flash drive. USB C is actually pretty good and you can easily get one that has both a and c.
