Also shitty laptops with keys that wear through and USB-C ports that break after 6 months.

Also a T1D. I’ve had 2 rounds of the X2. Still using USB micro to charge in 2026 is criminal. They’ve completely dropped the ball with future proofing their own ecosystem. I invested in 2017. Watched it climb to like $150 a share, stupidly didn’t sell my massive gains and watched it get reduced to the pittance it sits at. I truly think their main talent and leadership cashed out as millionaires and left.

My stupid Corsair Keyboard is so dumb I can’t turn of the lights even when the computer is shut down, I have to disconnect the USB every day

Don’t forget he brought us the MacBook pros with only 4 USB C ports (way before that could have been realistic like now) and the freaking TOUCH BAR 😂

Father in law works for a big tech company. He’s sold his stock as he went. If he hadn’t sold his stock he’d be somewhere between a 8-10 millionaire by now. And I had like 10 btc somewhere on a USB from back when I was in college and BTC was a novelty. The truth is you just wouldn’t have kept the stock this long. You would have sold it at 10,000 or 100,000.

Switched to one laptop + dock about a year ago and haven't looked back. Running dual monitors off a Thunderbolt 4 dock — sit down, one cable, both screens light up with all peripherals ready. When I travel I just unplug and go. The key for trading is making sure the dock actually handles dual monitors at the resolution you need without any lag or flickering. Cheap USB-C hubs will technically output to two screens but you'll notice input lag on charts and sometimes dropped frames — not what you want when you're watching price action. Things to check before buying: * **Your laptop's port** — Thunderbolt 4 or USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode. This decides which docks will actually work. * **Power delivery** — get a dock that charges your laptop too, otherwise you're back to two cables. * **Ethernet** — if you're trading on WiFi you're braver than me. Most good docks have gigabit built in. One device is simpler to maintain, easier to keep synced, and modern laptops have enough power that you're not sacrificing performance anymore. The dock makes it feel like a desktop when you're home. [This covers the main differences between dock types](https://byrdpilot.com/usb-c-docking-station/) if you want to make sure you pick the right one — a lot of people buy a dock that doesn't match their laptop's port and wonder why it doesn't work.

WaitformeBumblebee

Seagate isn't in the memory business, it's in storage, and they don't even produce NAND, only spinning rust (HDD). Investing in new HDD factories now is like investing in floppy disk factories when USB became standard. They should invest in NAND, if they don't China sure will.

Funny story about how I got to know Sandisk. Back in school, we used to pretend those retractable USB sticks were penises and have sword fights with them. Who knew they were worth so much.

realribsnotmcfibs

To be fair until micro idiots fix windows 11 and replace it with the next version they deserve the hate. You can’t even download the windows 11 iso and install it on a USB drive using a windows installer tool that worked fine for generations of windows only for it to not even work on a windows 10 OS. You literally have to download a random third party tool to build the installer USB. Make that make sense?!?!?!? Never mind their invasive malware, a windows security feature that can’t even find a virus when 500 ads are plowing your desktop while you scan, and broken eco system that they renamed several times for no reason.

So when I was briefly retired from tech for 4 years, I was taking a bunch of fun classes at the local community college. Autobody shop, autopaint and restoration...welding...and some basic accounting and bookkeeping, just for the hell of it. I did about a year's worth of classes in a few week... Professor Claude was a excellent study aid. One of the early assignments was completing a balance sheet ... It was also my first time using Claude with OpenOffice... [https://photos.app.goo.gl/Y5Mx3Ry1do9KTHPd9](https://photos.app.goo.gl/Y5Mx3Ry1do9KTHPd9) But man, after seeing what it could...I went right out early retirement and went right back into tech working on AI with a CTO of a startup doing a lot of very interesting projects in the automoative space. And it's only gotten better...Way better. Our software development pipeline.... Vibe coding was a year ago. Most of it is agentic , spec driven development now. I haven't hand written a line of code myself in about 2 years. And we haven't had a need to hire as many engineers/QA/or for that matter program managers and product managers. It won't replace all jobs. For example, I deal with a lot of on device prototyping with hardware , connectivity, and automotive that requires someone to be phsyically working on the systems with the AI assisted software. BUT, it definitely is a new world out there. Frankly, we don't need as many white collar workers anymore to do much of the work. Just last month, I wanted to to have and OBDII scan tool for my Mclaren to resert the service indicator light, that in the past requires a factory scan tool because it's a feature that is available only on the vendor specific side, not generic OBDII. A factory scan tool to do this is $7000, my Launch X431 Pro is about $1500 and requires a $400/year annual subscription. The better Autel tool is $2500 +$800/year subscription. I simply hooked up a OBDII Y adapter, connected my scan tool on one end of the Y, and a CAN bus to USB dongle to the other side of the adapter, got it setup with claude, and wrote up a spec that had claude listen on the CAN bus reording the traffic, as I used the my Launch scan tool to go through the OBDII interface to reset the service light. Claude captured the entire CAN trace, and generated a brand new Python app to do the exact same thing as my $1500 scan tool with a $400/year subscription... in about 20 minutes. Sure it was a little buggy at first, and dog slow. And I barely know Python, but after dorking around with it for a bit longer and making minor modifications, I had a duplicate OBDII scantool in a few hours, which without AI would have taken me weeks to figure out myself... And because of it, I don't need to pay the $400/year annual subscription fee for my OBDII scan tool moving forward. This is exactly why a lot of the software company's stock is tanking out of fear. For some things (not all things), you don't need to buy the pre-packaged software anymore...

If this would actually happen, as it seems it won’t, having to go back to 90’s phone design of just removing a battery, I would import the fucking thing from outside EU. Think of the insane ugly design choice to make this happen. So I’m happy this is not a thing. Changing a port to USB-C is different and I’m very happy for that.

IllllIIlIllIllllIlll

>And here’s why this matters, you see Apple doesn’t make two versions of the iphone. When the EU forced USB-C it became USB-C everywhere when the EU demands replaceable batteries everyone get replaceable batteries It would be pretty funny if this didn't happen this time around. Two possibilities: * they make an EU specific version with easily swappable batteries that will surely be more expensive and less waterproof. People from other countries will complain that they don't get easily swappable batteries, and people from the EU will complain that they have to pay more for a phone that's less waterproof and more bulky. * they stop selling the iPhone in the EU. Less likely but it would be equally hilarious. Btw I'm an android user from the EU so I don't really give a shit. I would just enjoy witnessing the chaos.

The thing is, absolutely no one use clouds to transfer a large amount of data. Everyone uses hard drive or USB. To put it into perspective, it would take minutes to transfer 1TB of data to a hard drive, but it would take days to transfer 1TB of data to cloud. And 99.9% of the time the transfer would crash and you would never be able to actually download 1TB of data unless you download smaller folders one at a time.

He won’t be able to make public appearances anymore. It’ll instead be Musk claiming: “AI Trump is better than (insert democrat/liberal candidate here). Now, ummm , you see with Optimus ummm robots we can download a human brain into the robot. Unfortunately scanning the entire human brain usually takes petabytes of data but since Trump has uhhh, yes, he has an optimized brain so it is only gigabytes of data fit on a USB stick, very efficient. We then used an algorithm called middle out and compressed it further. Without further ado, I present you to your 2028, 2032, 2036 and eternal President, Optimus Trump!” Immediately after the announcement, Optimus Trump leaves to play golf at Mar a Lago 2.

I was looking up a USB charger and typed UBS charger. A UBS charger is going to be much more expensive...

moorhound

Doing a garage cleanup, and it's time for the fateful moment I've been dreading... What to do with the random tote of cables. I've separated all the power strips into a different tote; these are all the ones I'll rarely, if ever, use. A 30-foot HDMI. DVI cords. DisplayPort. Side-mount Micro USB. Composite cables. MOLEX connectors. TV coax. I think there's a DS charger in here. I know what I must do, but do I have the strength?

themagicalpanda

Honestly, that's what I call a cool story bro. Such a riveting tale, I honestly copy and pasted it to word, saved on my hard drive, backed it up on a jump drive, drove to the bank, put the jump drive in the safe deposit box, and will leave it there until my kids turn about 12 (when they can actually state their age, and ask what it is I'm showing them), when I will pick it up, put it in an old USB drive reader and relay this cool story to them and tell them, "kids, this is what a cool story should look and sound like...not like the stories your generation tells.

Tech will be next. Semi conductor business is very inflated. People buying MEMORY, the most worthless part of computing, at 5x prices. This is not sustainable. Prices will come down eventually. SANDISK OH U MEAN THAT COMPANY THAT SELL USB-STICKS FOR $8 IS WORTH A TRILLION DOLLARS. Real pets.com stuff right there. Just not ready to pop. As soon as borrowing money gets more expensive, shits gonna pop real fast, it will kill demand and prices for memory and storage real fast.

No_Feeling920

IMO, under these circumstances, people are more likely to replace their displays rather than peripherals. I only buy a new keyboard or mouse when the old one breaks down (and I do not buy Corsair, I just buy whatever cheapest Chinese with quality switches in it). I only upgrade my PC case when it becomes obsolete (no front USB 3.0, too narrow for newer tower CPU coolers etc.). I have bought Corsair's RM850x power supply ages ago (must be over 8 years now), because I had something like a 350W supply before and the CPUs/GPUs were getting too power hungry for that. I hope the power supply will last me at least 15 years, unless a capacitor fails. I would not hold my breath for some miraculous recovery of Corsair. The entire desktop PC segment has been dying out for years. Most people buy a laptop or just a tablet these days. Some are fine using just the phone. If anything, I would probably buy Lenovo, since the do B2B. Though the tariffs/Taiwan situation is a significant risk.

Just an FYI... there is a lot of talk that Joseph Vito gets things done(Rackspace's new senior vice president of strategic alliance partnerships) - who has strong ties with and previous work history includes Amazon, Dell, USB, Dun & Bradstreet, Merrill Lynch... and may have brought this deal with Palantir with him - so I'm assuming there's a lot more to come.

I picked up a 4 b like a month ago, currently working in trying to get a home music server set up so I don't need to rely on YouTube music or Spotify servers to listen to my music. I have plenty of CDs so I can rip them into flac, store on a USB SSD that I plug into the pi, then have Navidrome running on the pi, reading from the SSD, and I should be able to get it to stream not just to my desktop or phone, but with a bit of work hopefully to other, better quality speakers. The power draw is way lower than doing something similar on my desktop or laptop too, so keeping it on would not be an issue

PlainBread

This. Weak ARM-based terminal devices, basically. Everyone already has one in their pocket that they paid way more for than its worth for tech specs alone. Not to mention they also sell "lapdocks", which are a Chromebook form factor whose whole purpose is to plug into your phone via USB-C so that you have a monitor, keyboard, and touchpad for Android Desktop Mode.

HaiKarate

Macbook Airs are most definitely not reasonably priced. Again, you're paying a premium price ($1000) for ultra-thin and ultra-lightweight, but you're losing ports and you get a small amount of storage. An HP entry level laptop is $500, you get twice as many USB ports (both USB-C and USB Type A) AND you get an HDMI port, AND you get twice the SSD storage. Macbook Air is only reasonably priced if you're already used to Apple's premium pricing. >Until recently, the support for enterprise management, fleet management, provisioning/deprovisioning, updates management and compliance support was non-existent.  This is false. Macs have had enterprise management software for over 20 years. Apple first integrated MDM into the OS in 2010.

PM_ME_UR_NECKBEARD

Serves us right honestly. If we treat our friends like shit and threaten war with them, why should they rely on our financial services? We have no one to blame but ourselves. Hopefully they can make some better alternatives. I love the USB C standard. EU likely will continue to erode our hold on things. Hopefully we can benefit from their willingness (relatively speaking) to stand up to big money interests.

I got one charger I use for my phone, it's USB A to USB C but my only cable for it is damaged after 5 years. You guys know if upgrading to a USB C to USB C charger actually makes a noticeable different in charging speed or is it marketing nonsense. Right I'd say it takes 2 hours for my phone to go from 20% to 100% battery with USB A to USB C. Thinking of just buying another USB A to USB C cable but also contemplating picking up a new C-C charger with cable.

A lot of newer cars don't let you install any music streaming apps worth a shit, but a lot of them include some native flavor of YouTube client built-in. running YT music over wireless CarPlay and/or Android Auto is a janky box-inside-a-box UI flow plus nothing I have test driven actually seems to support Dolby Atmos (or even 5.1) enabled music over CarPlay/AA. it plays, it's maybe aoeta better-ish than faked multichannel stereo but if you compare it with ripped lossless Atmos or BD multichannel audio on a USB drive and play directly from that, it can be a startling improvement over even wired CarPlay. It's sad that so few cars support on board android automotive, with its hundreds of apps including almost all of the premium lossless audio clients (Tidal, Qobuz etc) that run right on the car infotainment system natively.

_Lucille_

On one hand, walmart has the logistics network to potentially compete with a giant like Amazon, and stuff like Sam's Club seem to be getting more popular. On the other hand, at where I live, Walmart actually sucks: they are not just more expensive than competitors, but also generally have lower quality products (from produce to bakery items to snacks). Take something like USB cables for example: a tech influencer recently launched their own cables, and i see people complaining about the trash the have gotten at walmart and how expensive it is, and in my head I went "why didnt you just go on amazon and buy this well established brand with certified cables at a lower price point?".
