    you are actually that one asshat who interrupts someone talking about how they love a dead celebrity to talk about how they were part of the illuminati and the earth is flat and obama is a reptilian and that they are a stupid sheeple

    Because he loves being outdoors. An opportunity arose to be involved in a sport that he loves and he's running with it... some people live for adventure and follow their dreams, Some don't have the balls and settle for quote "safe and secure employment".

    pyromaniac reacted to Enderman in Why Linus is wrong (another macbook topic)   
    So this is mostly about the wan show, but I have seen several other people also just hate on apple without actually understanding why the macbook pro has (what I would call) the best I/O on a device ever made.
     
    1)
    First of all, some people said they can't plug their UBS devices into it without an adapter.
    This is not true. The ports are still USB ports, just with the new C connector.
    All USB devices can be plugged in without any active adapters.
    Devices with a removable cable can just have a cable replaced with a USB-C to whatever, instead of the regular USB-A to whatever.
    Stuff like USB drives with a fixed connector will need an adapter, but in the future all USB devices will use the C connector anyway.
     
    2)
    They are more than just USB ports.
    This is a combination of power delivery + USB 3.1 + displayport + hdmi +thunderbolt.
    THIS is what I call progress. ONE type of connector which can do everything. Why have 10 different types of ports and 10 different types of cables when you can combine them all into one?
    Having the same cable and connector for all devices will make everything easier in the future.
     
    This may seem like a stretch right now, since few devices have USB-C and you have to use USB-C to DP, or USB-C to HDMI, but the only way to switch everything to USB-C is by starting off with a product like this one.
    It's not hard to imagine 3 years from now where everything is connected using USB-C cables and you don't need to worry about where you left your extra HDMI or whatever.
     
    Remember serial cables and printer cables and gameport cables? Well those got replaced by USB-A.
    Now USB-C will also be replacing power and display cables.
     
    3)
    USB-C is the BEST connection to support today and in the future.
    I'm sure everyone can see the billions of devices with USB-A on it, well USB-C is better, and the best way to make it widespread is by forcibly switching to it.
    Only a handful of PC cases, phones, motherboards, etc. have USB-C. By putting it on what is one of the highest selling laptops in the world, millions more people will begin switching too USB-C.
    Yes it is forced. In case you haven't noticed, this is the only way to get people to switch quickly, especially with majority of old people who resist change like it's life or death.
     
    4)
    It might have been sarcasm, but why was @LinusTech complaining about 4 ports being too many??
    Hypocritical much? Complain about the macbook not having enough, then 4 is too many?
    I think 4 is more than enough, considering the daisy chaining capabilities of Thunderbolt 3, which will make it so most of the time you only need 1-2 connectors for everything.
     
    5)
    @Slick mentioned laptop docks.
    If you watch the conference, they show that you can easily connect everything that most people need through a single connector.
    External displays, external storage, power, peripherals, etc....
    Nobody needs a laptop dock if you can literally plug in one cable and have everything connected
     
    6)
    Power can be supplied from any connector or either side.
    Yes, the magsafe connector is gone, but hey look, more hypocritical people.
    First complain about apple using proprietary stuff, and when they switch to a global standard like USB, then complain that the proprietary connector is no longer there.
    Seriously, USB-C is the future whether you like it or not, and it is already becoming popular on phones.
    Having the same connectivity on a laptop again benefits the "only one type of cable" reason.
     
    7)
    Progress, again requires the use of a lot of force.
    More people buying macbook pros = more people using USB-C = more manufacturers adding USB-C to their devices.
    USB drives, monitors, external storage, peripherals, etc...
    This benefits EVERYBODY, since we will all be using USB-C in a few years.
    Again, USB-C is the global standard, not a proprietary macbook connector. It will be on your PC case and you might even have a motherboard with some USB-C already.
     
    8)
    Please watch the conference or read some articles about the Thunderbolt 3 USB-C ports before ranting about the macbook pro.
    USB-C is soon to replace almost every type of port on the back of your PC, and this is a great jump-start to get the industry into production.
     
     
     
     
    TL;DR
    1) the ports on the macbook are still USB, all you need is a new USB-C cable, no active adapters or stuff
    2) they can also do hdmi, thunderbolt, displayport, and power
    3) the USB-C connector is the future, and soon everything will use it
    4) 4 ports is enough because most of the time you can connect everything through 1-2 with the use of daisy chaining
    5) connecting an entire setup by plugging in 1 connector is what people have wanted for decades
    6) yes magsafe is gone, but replaced by a non-proprietary global standard, USB-C. You will be able to use the same cable on all your devices, not just apple.
    7) forcing people to use USB-C is the fastest way to push the industry into more USB-C on devices/accessories, which benefits everyone, not just apple users
    8) hopefully you learnt something today about why USB-C is a great way of pulling the future towards us at an accelerated rate.
    9) gnight, I'll reply to everyone tomorrow
