USB-A is the common standard. Most devices are made with USB-A compatibility. Most portable media are USB-A.
I’m not even going after the vast majority of my hard stops when I pick technology, like the fact that there’s no proper (S)VGA and no full-size DisplayPort (and I mean proper DisplayPort, not an “HDMI” plug into a DisplayPort interface), or the lack of a hardware switch to fully disable power to all onboard radio and modem devices.

Well, per spec the client devices are supposed to have B ports (e.g. printers, scanners, external hard drives, etc. are all B), thumb stick are outliers in that they use A.
Well they used to at least, all the ones I’ve seen recently are A/C. A is legacy at this point.
If I’m in a situation where it’s Apple or failure, I will gladly fail.
They have a lot of nerve using a USB standard that’s only 12 years old

So mad that my modern laptop doesn’t have a DIMM port, how am I supposed to use my 1992 era keyboard?
You mean DIN, not DIMM. DIMM is RAM. DIN is PS/2 and others. As far as how I use my old boards and trackballs, PS/2 to USB-A 1.0.
