Apple? Why? 😠😠😠😈

Don't forget to buy a dongle for your dongle and connect them to your dongle

It's 'innovative' because smaller is good apparently, despite what my girlfriend says 😂

Because their business is dongles now.

@uddinstock aka the reason he bought the new mbp

Get a USB c pass though hub

Why would you subject yourself to such needless suffering? The solution is to just not buy the new MacBook pro at all

At least you can add emojis to your devrants seamlessly.

Buy a dongle. And Good luck!

The next step: screw ports altogether; wireless peripherals and inductive charging with proprietary hardware and protocols.

To the why did you buy it guys.

May he got it from his work and didn't had a choice

On a side note, what even is that enter key

@J4s0n He's just lowkey showing off that he got one

C O U R A G E

Next thing will be a screen in place of the keyboard! 😂😂

@capnross that actually wouldn't be a bad thing. No more keyboard layout problems. Plus i always wanted a keyboard that adapts to the size of you hands

@DarkMukke sounds great from that perspective, but I like the tactility of a physical keyboard.

@capnross so you still have a hard ware keyboard on your phone too ?

LOL! Of course not, but for my main development machine, I'd hate to have a non-tactile keyboard.

Just give it some time. In a year or two, you'll miss that large USB port like you miss the parallell printer port.

But how can you live without an escape key?

@Grumpy I don't...

@loumorgsy smaller is always better, unless we're talking about monitor size, bank accounts, storage space or that other thing we shamelessly can't keep our hands off of

@DarkMukke I don't think that phones need a physical keyboard as of today. For me, a phone is a device for consumption, not for creation, and if most of what you type is in your keyboard's dictionary, you should be fine.

@alistairkb Even if an Esc key is on the touchscreen, it would be awkward to press it as a part of a key combination. I haven't tried it, but I suspect it wouldn't be nice. Try holding down Shift and tapping the flat area next to the Esc key on a normal keyboard.

@kamen That's precisely my problem with recent phones. The old Xperia Pro I used 3 years ago could be used for creation because it had a keyboard. I took notes and wrote emails on it. My present Nexus is useless for that, so it's just a device for consumption, as you point out.

I really miss that physical keyboard.

@Grumpy I meant that if I were to code on my phone, I'd really miss a full size physical keyboard. But [for me] it's fine for writing mails and messages since most of the words I'm using can be guessed (thus input easily) by a software keyboard. Swiftkey for example is fine with guessing words, but it would be terrible with punctuation (in code).

@kamen forget the phones, they were just a reference, we are talking about laptops with touch screens for keyboards

I like how the comments emphasize dongles when there's actual USB C products out there. Get some real USB C devices and tell the dongles to fuck off, you'll have a better time

@r0bb I actually agree with you. The shape of usb has never changed. And i mean on the pc side. Its about time it dies. It's huge. Look at the evolution of firewire 400 to 800 to thunderbolt. Much better.

@r0bb or just get a USB c pass though hub....

@ScribeOfGoD don't know what that is but that sounds like it would work
