Power users sure, but you're average customer doesn't give a shit.
Because they were already gaslit by techbros.
Eh, you're average user doesn't need many ports on their device honestly.
Is that why so many dongles are being sold? Don't know a single Mac user without one.
You can be certain they would be using more ports if they had any.
Sounds like it's the Mac users who are wrong. Save some money and throw your apple shit in the trash where it belongs if you don't like it.
I work in a company that's a couple thousand people, and the vast majority of them don't plug anything into their laptops other than power and a phone charger.
Plugging things in to your work computer is a security risk and likely not allowed by the company if they have any sense.
Dongle is for the desk. More like dock than dongle. I don't want to travel with a thicker laptop for ports some neckbeard on lemmy demanded that even he will never use
Yeah your average user today does their "computing" on a device that they never plug anything into except power. And some of them never plug anything in at all.

Printers are wireless. So only thing is thumb drive which in my experience most people would rather use cloud storage or airdrop
Lemmy users trying not to downvote a fact just because they don't like that the fact exists in reality - impossible challenge.
