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

Okay but what kind of application is it used for that you exceed 15 ports filled??

but why would you need [thing that is already technically possible and could conceivably be needed]???

Are you an apple dev?

I am just asking what they are doing to need that as I cannot think of anything off the top of my head

I mean, it’s pretty easy to imagine needing 10 USB ports. I think I’m using around that many myself on my desktop. Then just add a couple more for things that may be things needed temporarily.

I can hardly imagine needing 15 ports at the same time.

meanwhile I’m overhere with…

keyboard, mouse, camera, 4x flash drive, game controller, ebook reader, external storage disk, printer, VR headset, multimedia card reader, LED controller, my monitor (USBc display + hub + KVM) and my phone…

ofcourse not all at the same time. but I have a mess of USB extensions and hubs as I don’t have enough root Ports lol

(Linux not hacintosh) I apparently couldn’t run it if I wanted to.
