      There are plenty of times when wireless solutions does not in fact “do trick”.

      We only have a limited available radio frequency spectrums we can use.

      And trust me, if you have a wireless AV transmitter to the projector in a meeting room it may work fine with five people in the romm, but it will fall on it’s arse when there are 50 people in the same room.

      Because I rather not have environmental damaging batteries in every device I use when my laptop has a big enough one to power them all and is close by at all times anyway.

      Seriously, wireless protocols over a distance of <1 meter are worthless and unnecessary.

      Let’s not rehash that argument. Use what works for you and let other people use what works for them. There is no right and wrong way that works for everyone

        Agreed, just trying to post in the shitposting spirit 🤣

        I have a MacBook Pro and use a CalDigit TS4 hub because I need more ports.

            Macbooks refuse to connect to more than one display over a USB-C dock, meaning you have to purchase a thunderbolt dock.

            Two 4K monitors, a mic, a camera*, a personal yubikey, a work yubikey, an iPhone charging puck, and a spare port to occasionally charge the keyboard or trackpad.

            *despite being TB4, the dock’s bandwidth is insufficient for a 4k camera stream running through an Elgato Camlink, so my dock (ascrono vertical docking station) has one of its ports going to the cam and the other to the hub. I’m convinced there isn’t a hub on the market that supports my requirements.
