It's a shame email doesn't exist

I'm proud to be incompatible with Apple

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 60 points 3 days ago (11 children)

Skill issue. I have LocalSend on all my devices.

What's rather ironic is my Linux FOSS setup is more compatible than ever because it can open my students .notes and .pages files, while MS Word couldn't.

And naturally, I'm proud of using FOSS so I guess I'm proud to be compatible with everything.

My Mac studio m2 was the only computer I ever had that had compatibility issues with some USB cables

People talk about Apple hardware like it's incredible, but honestly, no pc manufacturer would make that mistake

It's rather Apple who is incompatible with the rest of the world. Any other bluetooth device can transfer files with other bluetooth devices.

This is why I have a Framework laptop with modular ports.

I can change which ports my laptop has, and on which side it has them, at will. No struggle

Man, you are the superior one, because you are still using a real Computer

If somebody requests that I drop air, I will push a fart. Hope your bougie toy can read that.

Hey remember that tried and true universal plug-in that literally works on everything and everybody loves? Lets not have that anymore.

[–] red_bull_of_juarez@lemmy.dbzer0.com 115 points 3 days ago (37 children)

I know Apple is terrible with usability, but I also think USB-C is now the one that works everywhere. All my last USB stick purchases had USB-A and C, just so that I don't have to run away in tears. I can even use them with smartphones and those never had USB-A.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 39 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's the new standard, but there should always be at least one USB-A. It's still incredibly common.

[–] fartsparkles@lemmy.world 23 points 3 days ago (5 children)

USB-C is over 11 years old.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 22 points 3 days ago (6 children)

And? Is there something newer that's a standard? If not, it's the new one.

Also, it's only recently become the de facto standard. Yes, it's older than that, but it didn't become the standard until maybe five years ago. So much was still being made for USB-A, and some things still are. Anything older than ~5 years ago has good odds of being A.

Moral of the story: get a USB adapter

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 days ago (5 children)

This is why you get a adapter stick that has C to micro, C to A, C to Thunder, and a card reader.

[–] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I do have a 2-ended USB drive with A and C and it's glorious.

Remember folks, apple onyl has usb c because they were forced to

[–] Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de 35 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They were forced to have one, they were not forced to remove everything else.

That is solely on them.

fuck apple but you're kinda mistaken here, if you're talking about just iphone, maybe you're right - but they had usb c (actually thunderbolt) on macbook and ipad before any legal rulings, macbooks before there was even any hint of legislation iirc.

Imagine being so insecure

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Macs are actually pretty secure. Especially with their TPM stuff. It's the everything else that sucks about them

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Emotionally insecure.

But yes. My wife was an Apple girl for a long time. She just bought herself a used Pixel 9Pro XL (identical to mine) to use with Graphene OS, and gave me the green light to wipe her Macbook for Linux.

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

Yes that's the joke

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (4 children)

I just have USB-C to USB-A adapter, for this kind of problems, and the reverse adapter as well.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I have an email account for this kind of problems

Just get a usbC flash drive. USB C is actually pretty good and you can easily get one that has both a and c.
