What is the purpose of a USB stick with USB A? Especially nerds like to connect shit to the smartphone, which all have usb c

Backwards compat to older devices.
E.g. lots of TV sets don't have USB-C ports, only USB-A, and have them located in awkward spots where adapters or dongles will not fit well. Many tech-conscious users update TV-firmware via USB because a) it means they can keep their TV deprived of a network connection and prevent it from spying on you; b) in doing so also prevents it from being the entrypoint into your local network through malware compromise; and c) it gives them control over firmware updates rather than have OTA updates be forced on them - because the manufacturer knows best, and they really;really;REALLY need those ads on the home screen for additional income, goy.

You're the type of faggot who would still put stuff on floppy disks 15 years ago and then complain when nobody had a floppy drive on their PC.

Nice cope kiddo but in any real company you get fired for showing up unprepared for work.

Yes, as in the guy who shows up with a USB A or floppy disk gets fired.
You don't walk into a board room and say "Here's my presentation, can't run it? Guess that's a personal problem Mr. Bossman!"
Most companies these days would take issue with the fact you kept company data on an easily lost format at all.

LocalSend. It works on every single device. You can send files, media, clipboard, folders, text and apps. I've used it on my phone, PCs, TV, some relative's iPhones and even in browsers.

Good luck making a normie install your stupid app

Stop being autistic, in real life normal people aren't gonna fault you for having a USB-A flash drive and you're not gonna fault them for having USB-C ports only either.

Get better friends. You surround yourself with people you don't like. I have 5 close friends and ~40 distant friends, none of my close friends ever judged me for what I am or what I do or didn't do.

Is kinda hard to find people you enjoy spending time with if ur tistic
And modern life is so fleeting, even when i do find people who are cool they tend to drift in a few months anyway

I think you're just prejudiced, I've been using my macbook pro since 2015, and only just retired it last year after four battery swaps, two repastes, and a ssd upgrade. It's got a bunch of dents and scratches, but everything still works and looks good after a polish.
The rubber coating on my lenovo x250 started rubbing off on everything, and died within a few months of being used by my cousin.
My amd v620 has no rocm 7 support on windows (released in 2021), while I can still download drivers and software for my macbook pro model.

You just look for cases that support your preconceived notions and ignore evidence to the contrary.

Just email it to someone who can connect the projector? You're clearly too useless to even be worthy of going to school or else you would have had to do that at some point by now.

I have never seen a flash drive, external disk, or desktop with USB-C.

I have a 7 year old sandisk one that has USB-C. you're still living in 2013 running an x230

It's just a port shape. Who cares how the pins are configured if it does the exact same thing? Just get an adapter from A to C.

This, I read the last two sentences first and played a version where the iToddler struggles to plug in a flash drive.
>>
>>108478654
I know the struggle.
It's always been difficult to find people you can be around for more than a few hours.
Normies are just on a constant repeating cycle. You hang around enough of them and you realize the day to day is incredibly boring and I swear it seems like "sociability" is directly tied to how much you can cope with repeating the same bullshit over and over while interacting with them.

Your more tistic friends you might be able to hold on to but even then you and them "get it out of your systems" with each other.

>>108477959
Even the 16MB flash drive I developed for work is USB-C. Anyone still using USB-A flash drives deserves the mockery. It is outdated tech. Throw it away and get with the times, unc.

>>108477959
You're the one responsible for delivering the presentation to the group so you're at fault for putting it on a storage device that's incompatible with the presentation hardware.
>b-b-but I ASSUMED the laptop would have USB-A
You should have checked. That's how life works, dumbo. Why are you even putting a 10MB powerpoint on a thumb drive? Are you too tech illiterate to use email?
