Apple has singlehandedly screwed up the usability of personal computers. I have an M2 air which cannot power two monitors. I cannot attach usb-A devices like an external keyboard, mouse, external discs, I cannot attach an ethernet cable.
Unless, of course, I buy a very expensive hub. Cheaper hubs (like the one I have) will not support all that.
What is the use of all this bandwidth when you can't use it? Benchmarks? Fast browser-machines? What a waste of tech.
