Comment on Microsoft finally admits almost all major Windows 11 core features are broken
AbidanYre@lemmy.world 1 month agoMy recollection is that USB on windows was kind of a dumpster fire until XP. Or maybe that was just printers in general.

Hell I remember when USB on PCs was basically a set of pins on the motherboard and you had to buy the actual port assembly separately and hope there was somewhere reasonable on your case to mount it. Was going absolutely nowhere on PC until the iMac came and did away with all other ports and no peripherals built in.

I remember my sister winning an iPod and gave it to me, because she didn’t need it. I had to run to the computer store in town to purchase a USB deck for my motherboard. Fun times.

What is a “USB deck”?

I can’t remember what it’s called, and I was drunk last night lol. It was a USB card with pins you slottet into the motherboard, just like GPUs.

Probably a square rectangle of plastic you’d add to your PC, like a CD player, but with a USB connector. And wires/card towards the mobo. Cases always had like 2-4 emplacements for those kind of things on the front.
