  Doesn’t exactly inspire confidence in your imagination.

    Well I am currently using about 5-6 ports on my PC and 2 of those are not really needed. I can imagine using a couple more but certainly not 15

      The thing is though, every situation is different. I’m glad the designers of USB did not think like you do. Having the ability to use a lot of devices might be rare but it’s definitely been needed before, whether or not others can imagine it.

        Fuck’s sake I was just asking what they were using it for that they filled out 15 ports and everyone is attacking me for thinking 15 is too much or something.

  meanwhile I’m overhere with…

  keyboard, mouse, camera, 4x flash drive, game controller, ebook reader, external storage disk, printer, VR headset, multimedia card reader, LED controller, my monitor (USBc display + hub + KVM) and my phone…

  ofcourse not all at the same time. but I have a mess of USB extensions and hubs as I don’t have enough root Ports lol

  (Linux not hacintosh) I apparently couldn’t run it if I wanted to.

    Yeah that was my main thing. It can be done but most people don’t need all of those plugged in constantly
