Having separate dongles for network, audio, video etc. is even worse than just having specific cables for each - Lemmy.world

Maybe belongs in /c/extremelypopularthoughts

I think the annoyance comes from not having that many ports to begin with. If I had a whole bunch of ports, it wouldn’t matter as much if I had to snap on a usb-c adapter to all the cables.

What is annoying is having to unplug something i need so I can plug in a flash drive

Why not using small usbc splitter? Like 7 in 1
Because they heat very easily, suffer throttleneck problems (Ethernet+HDMI+copytoUSB = sudden drop in Ethernet)
Some do, others don’t. It helps to check out reviews and ask around before buying.
