Also why the fuck are laptops and phones like this too?
[Yes I was the dork who kept buying replacements for the one cellphone that had a magic keyboard gaah]

The absurdity of two HDMI ports and needing an endless amount of splitters and cables to continue using your media & games. Buying endless technology format options of the same thing or even worse subscription services to watch the same thing is NOT an option.

Anytime you see a huge business like that make headass decision after decision that undermines the key reasons people give them money, it's often private equity calling the shots.. JAB Equity has owned Panera Brands since 2017.
