DanTDMits actually worse bc ports are counted twice for 2.0 & 3.0
someone is going to nerdsnipe me so i will add that technically its 15 registered ports per USB controller, so you can add a dongle and have more than 15. a mobo usually only has 1 USB controller for way more than 15 USB ports though, Apple added this arbitrary restriction for no reason since none of their devices have that many ports. so a typical PC motherboard just straight up destabilizes the system lmfao
endlesseden“so a typical PC motherboard destabilizes the system” you don’t say. Steve jobs killed the external Macos program they had for GSeries and m68k Mac’s when he came back saying internally “if you let competition thrive you cannot drive demand”.
so I think we can guess why it’s hard coded lol
