It’s your fault if you buy it
The entire market is all in on this trend. It's hard to get a laptop with more than a couple usb ports anymore.

The annoying thing is they're not even that much thinner. They've just reshaped the edge to make it look like there isn't room for real ports.

WTF is this boomer facebook post shit?
no, no, he has a point
What point? That there are laptops with fewer universal ports? That the universal ports improved throughout time and includes more function that it did before, which means we require fewer ports in total?
What is the point without dumb rage-bating Linux nerds?
That the universal ports are worse for some purposes than the old specialized ones. I feel this especially for magsafe and analog audio
Are there no laptops with magsafe and 3.5mm?
Audio is valid, but apple brought back magesafe.
EDIT my 3 year oldacbook pro has bothagsafe and 3.5mm audio.
