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
WIZARD POPE💫Okay but what kind of application is it used for that you exceed 15 ports filled??
TrickDacybut 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.
Well I am currently using about 5-6 ports on my PC and 2 of those are not really needed. I can imagine using a couple more but certainly not 15
The thing is though, every situation is different. I’m glad the designers of USB did not think like you do. Having the ability to use a lot of devices might be rare but it’s definitely been needed before, whether or not others can imagine it.
Fuck’s sake I was just asking what they were using it for that they filled out 15 ports and everyone is attacking me for thinking 15 is too much or something.
The question wasn’t a problem. The repeated implications that it’s too many is obviously what annoyed people.
I never implied it’s too many. I just said I cannot think of a way to use 15 ports (as in my personal setup). Might not have been the most clear but never implied it.
