This doesn't happen, where I live nobody uses MacBooks or AirDrop, every laptop has USB-A ports, and yet everyone just sends all the files through the national messenger
>>
Do this really happens in woke countries like america?

Yeah americans think every country use woke crap like them.

No I mean a messenger that is preferred in the country, not that it's created by the government

what's the difference? usa gov has access to all your non government messengers anyway

Skill issue. Even my old Sandisk from like 2018 has both USB-A and USB-C.

How do you not have a USB-C / A drive, anon?
>>
>>108941647
if you have a 512MiB drive that cost $5 20 years that has worked all that time except when the filesystem isn't corrupted from dead flash, why should you be the one to support some faggots new laptop?

you know flash drives are USB C now right?

There should be a public social media messanger. Like one of the private company ones, but family friendly and moral only, also required to join like social security or signing up for the draft

>>108941623
Literally true. They even require chips in those to validate its an apple cert cable. Im nearing a crisis point in my life where losing every image and memory from my past 10years wouldnt bother me, and considerinf abandoning my icloud tonstart fresh on an open phone
>>
>>108941787
This may look dumb, but that person should be hired immediately.

I remember whenever winslop users had to bring their laptops to class, they constantly had to scour the room for wall plugs, and would trip over wires dropping their laptops. I was the only one with a macbook, and I don't think anyone ever saw me with a charger. Sure wish I was them for that USB-A port though!

Yes, they could probably plug the USB into their Android phone and access the external storage there and since it's Android that just works.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed that. Your phones ports are more than for just charging.

Or you can keep a tiny $2 adapter in your bag/desk. They even support 10Gbps.

This is so dumb. Being required to install WhatsApp (most likely) to not be a complete outcast to society is insane. The amount of power zuck has over most of the western world is just stupid.

I can make up things too, pretty fun. If I have any kind of issue with my MBP I just make an IT ticket and someone fixes it for me whenever I’m next in office

No idea, here in Europe if someone hands an Apple user a USB-A stick, they pull out their adapter because why the fuck would you expect someone to throw away the 5 perfectly working USB-A sticks they have at home just because you bought a Fagbook

Ragebait thread. Most normies I've met agree that macbooks are overpriced. The average person just wants their technology to work. Lots of women have samsung phones. Lots of people use chromebooks too. A vast majority of people literally just need basic processing power for word documents, excel, etc. This is just the truth. I'm always amazed when I see how colleges require macbook level hardware or a dell xps or surface pro. Like bro college is basically all chromebook level hardware requirements unless ur comp sci.

This is just my opinion though. Shaming people for the tech they use is retarded. Although you are in fact retarded if you buy a $2,000 macbook. You can make an argument the mac mini is worth it though. Mac os is still retardedly locked down though.

Ancient USB sticks with only USB-A ports are 4GB at best. I don't think anyone is selling those anymore.
This copypasta ages like milk

>Ancient USB sticks with only USB-A ports are 4GB at best.
I can't believe how removed from reality you are. Search for "usb drive" on Amazon and only 3 of 17 results on the first page have USB-C connectors. Of those three, every one has both A and C.

If you pulled one of those out and tried to use it in front of me I'd break off the nearest chair's leg and ram it through your non-beating heart you vampiric scum

I still have a 256MB flash drive I bought 25 years ago. It still works and I'm sentimental about my first pendrive, so why wouldn't I keep it?
I use it in print shops from time to time, fuck logging into my stuff or connecting anything smarter on their computers.

Same reason none of your thinkpads have MicroUSB ports.

>>108941623
>>108944864
Additionally, the vast majority of users never needed a 30pin or Lightning adapter except maybe the headphone one.
For the wide populace, using your phone as a host device was more a novelty than "a thing." Even Androids were quick to lose HDMI ports and such, and I'm sure half this board doesn't know wtf usb otg is.

Every iPhone and android with a USB C port supports USB otg.
