i love how PC building involves: - getting ripped off by mobo pricing - getting ripped off by gpu pricing - getting ripped off by oxidizing cpus what a great industry
@mikoto@jeder not to be that idiot but tbh I hate it I want USB-A ports, almost nothing I want to plug into my computer uses type C, especially on the back
@mikoto@jeder yeah the thing is the only device I own with a permanently attached male type C connector is one of my yubikeys everything else can work on a C to A cable or is older than type C my trackpad came with a lightning to type C cable and I found that pretty annoying (but makes sense for an apple peripheral) because I don't have any conveniently usable type C ports on my PC, at least it works fine with an out of spec adapter...
@lina yeah that was certainly a thing, and like, both generations were absolutely plagued with problems besides this one, to the point that people started recommending i9-12900k as the best intel cpu again
