The Management posted:the Touch ID on it is great. the huge touch pad is also great. the touchbar is mostly useless for my purposes and slightly annoying. the keyboard is bad and way too loud. the lack of usb A ports is dumb. 3/5 would not buy again. i am fine with the keyboard feel, but a friend had to replace a key (not key cap) and nope you need a whole top case replacement and a week without your computer for that. replacing a whole top case with glued in batteries for a bent key spring is mega lmao.

Apple could've just like, replaced the Thunderbolt ports on their 2015-style MBPs with USB-C Thunderbolt ports and it would've been perfectly fine.

[quote="“bump_fn”" post="“476979268”"] has apple ever given a reason their phones use lightning cable ports instead of usb-c [/quote] because lightning was created before usb-c? because lightning is stiff enough to mount the entire phone in whereas usb C is not designed for that? because lightning is thinner?

isnt usb-c "apple's gift to the PC industry" in that the signaling protocol (e.g. dynamic selection of which pins are for power and which are for data) is very heavily inspired by lightning? and yeah it being physically designed to hold up the phone is super useful, not necessarily for individual users, but in that there isnt a male part inside the female end of the port which can break off

Lysidas posted:isnt usb-c "apple's gift to the PC industry" in that the signaling protocol (e.g. dynamic selection of which pins are for power and which are for data) is very heavily inspired by lightning? heavily influenced is one way of saying it. Apple wanted one connector that unified display port, thunderbolt, USB3, and power. a connector that was reversible, symmetric on both ends, thin, and could be used for everything meanwhile intel and the USBIF were wanking over how to add USB3 support to the awful existing USB connector types. they came up with stupid poo poo like this:   do you think these morons suddenly grew a brain and figured out how to make a connector that doesn't suck? or did someone hand them a spec and wrote the cable firmware for them and told them "here, make this a standard so that everyone adopts it"?

bump_fn posted:has apple ever given a reason their phones use lightning cable ports instead of usb-c i always thought it was just so apple could have more control over the platform. it gives them final say on what types of accessories are allowed, and also a cut of accessory revenue with the "made for iThing" program. it also probably reduces the cost of their support/warranty operations, since it makes it harder for someone to buy a malfunctioning accessory that damages the device

God drat those things are terrible. Actual question: Why does USB type B even exist? I mean beyond being bad at everything.

Astoundingly Ugly Baby posted:Apple could've just like, replaced the Thunderbolt ports on their 2015-style MBPs with USB-C Thunderbolt ports and it would've been perfectly fine. retina MPBs having two thunderbolt ports seems like barbaric overkill since you can daisy chain the things. I guess unless you want to daisy chain through your laptop to have even more things connected to it.

Boiled Water posted:lo designed by committee , a committee of people who think android is the best thing since sliced bread. God drat those things are terrible. usb is directed, with power only coming from the downstream side. if you force different physical connectors, you can prevent overloads and such usb-c does away with this by having a controller inside each cable
