This is how I feel about ultra-slim laptops that only have USB-C ports. I don't care if it needs to be 10% thicker, I want a usable port damn it!
-
Funnily enough, there was a post arguing about this not so long ago.
I know adapters exist, but for something like HDMI that I use quite regularly, I'll have a dedicated port thanks.

I tried using an HDMI adapter (the kind you is find on these tiny USB C hubs to bring along your laptop) for playing proper video and the sound was missing everything under like 200hz, unwatchable. It's clearly made to show spreadsheets and PowerPoints and not much else.

Framework is somehow both

Quick question: USB-C docks with HDMI have their iwn DAC for audio while video gets passed through?

You'd think there would be a thinner Ethernet port by now. That standard is several decades old.
-
I agree with the notion, but at the same time, I think no one wants to deal with the mess of having two different kinds of Ethernet plugs. I mean, if you think about it, needing dongles for connecting Ethernet to USB-C is exactly what would happen, if you had two different Ethernet plugs. So, at this rate, might as well start having USB-C ports on routers, so you can run a USB-C cable all the way...

There is. Most laptops have RJ45 ports that fold out now a days.

Thought something was missing

you simply rent these attachments, $9.99/mo each

That sounds bad. Can't I just subscribe to have them provided for $9.99/mo each? Sounds much better.

Oh no indeed

I feel like I'm lucky now if they're even willing to SELL me the utility that used to come standard.
More than half the time, when the new, sleek product gets rid of functionality, the response to, "How do I do all the things I need to do?" is essentially, "You don't!"
And if you ask to keep using the previous product, the response is, "No."
Progress!
That's a good time to change manufacturers.
