Removing headphone jacks from smartphones & tablets, and removing USB and HDMI ports from laptops, all while increasing prices, is the worst trend in technology...
Some of these companies don't even include a charger anymore.
It's crazy what they're able to get away with. 😂
I was just looking at new laptops today and was amazed by both the sky high prices and the inversely correlated lack of basic functionality.
How am I going to pay £1k+ for a laptop with zero USB ports?
"YoU caN BuY aN aDaPtor!"
You shouldn't need to. Unreal. 🤣
I feel like a top tech company could corner a market by simply NOT constantly getting rid of basic useful features that are used and appreciated by millions of customers. 🤷🏿♂️
Not all change is progress.
I can't even just cuss out Apple for this.
They started this stupid trend, but many manufacturers have followed like sheep.
I didn't even mention the removal or ethernet ports and DVD drives from laptops, and the removal of expandable storage in smartphones.
The more time goes on, the less features you get.
Some laptops don't even have 3.5mm ports anymore for headphones, mics, and speakers.
Within 5 years, they might not include the screen anymore...
Gotta pay extra for that. And buy an adaptor. 😂

The amount of new information that's been learned about the C19 💉 confirms that people who held off because they wanted more info and longer term data were justified in their rationale. Not 'anti-science' nor 'selfish' nor 'stupid'.
Look at how much has changed in just 1 year.
This time last year, the mainstream belief was that it would only be 1-2 injections, they would stop you from getting sick, stop you from transmitting the virus, and effectively end the 'pandemic'.
All 4 have been proven to be objectively false in under 12 months. More to come.
Given the speed and expediency with which these shots were rolled out, it was obvious to any calm, independent thinking person that there were a lot of unknown variables.
It's astonishing how aggressive people were and still are against those who point this out. It's weird. 🤷🏿♂️
I haven't seen many people make this point, but a core reason why 'the left' in the West has become increasingly unhinged over the past decade is that as society becomes more egalitarian, fair, and non-discriminatory, their natural role and purpose becomes less clear and obvious.
This has really been the first time period in history where there isn't CLEARLY an entire demographic that is being mistreated by the law and society as a whole.
The major battles have been won but people don't know where to put their energy. So they start promoting dumb stuff.
In fact, people have overcorrected so hard they have created an entire new set of problems. And have created MORE discrimination and division as a result. 🙈
We live in the age of overcorrection and directionless, purposeless humans.
