  And USB-C is known as a compatibility mess.

    Is it though? Is it really? Outside the HN rant circles which want to return back to times where you needed an adapter for every single laptop model or be shit out of luck for connecting your mouse or projector?

      I don't remember ever needing a USB-A adapter to plug in a mouse to a laptop. Until laptops started coming with only USB-C.
