Comment on Why do (desktop) PC have so few USB ports ?

That’s why I built my own PC, get it the way I want it.
Though even I rarely used more than 8 at a time.
- mouse and keyboard
- wifi antenna
- printer cable
- webcam (only sometimes)
the CD reader takes two, one for power and one for data, but that’s only used rarely
if I’m playing games with my kids that’s four controllers at most, and I don’t leave those plugged in

A WiFi antenna doesn’t plug into a USB port, it screws directly into the WiFi card. Or do you mean you have a USB WiFi card, instead of an internal one?

One of my PCs didn’t come with wifi on the motherboard so wifi is through an USB adapter, nothing unusual with that…

It’s not a USB antenna, though. It’s a USB WiFi card with an antenna attached.

Ok buddy, you might be technically right, doesn’t mean it’s not annoying when people like you pretend to not understand what people are talking about just to correct them.

Could be one of those adapters with an antenna attached, so it looks like one big antenna.
