People trying to justifying Apple using a proprietary port on the Vision Pro because “eughhhh, it uses 13V batteries to increase the total watt hours >>>>:((” when the USB-C PD 1.0 standard literally includes a 12V profile. 😐

And the USB-C PD 2.0 & 3.0 standards include a 15V profile. 😐😐

Not to mention, Apple’s proprietary port can’t transmit data, as is, meaning if you brick your device during a reset or update, you have to take time out of your day and pay an Apple Store to fix it. 😐😐😐

Meanwhile, the USB-C PD standard includes support for USB 3.0 10Gbps speeds. 😐😐😐😐

And Apple literally helped design USB-C, so their insistent refusal to use it on their products is 😐😐😐😐😐

But don’t worry! Apple will, actually, sell you an adapter, so you can plug a USB-C cable into your $3,500 headset… as long as you pay a $99/year developer fee 😐😐😐😐😐😐

And then pay $300 for the dongle, itself. 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐

God. All this bullshit with Apple lately. It makes me want an Android so bad. I’m trying to keep my current phone as long as it’s getting software updates, so probably until 2025, with 2027 being a stretch goal for security-only updates, but it’s honestly getting hard. With all the DMA Temper Tantrum stuff Apple is doing, and all the classist snootiness iPhone owners tend to have, I’m honestly ready to switch. I feel embarrassed carrying an Apple phone around in public. Yuck.

Love that Cohost already has a fully functional Progressive Web App on iOS. Now I see why Apple hates these things so much: They’re great!
