They added back SD + HDMI ports, and despite being expensive, they're ridiculously OP to the point where even the lower-end M1 Macs completely shit all over the Intel Mac Pro's in performance.

i'm sure they'll sell you a proprietary dongle that fixes the issue, just fork over ~$300.

Get yourself one of these (3 pack on amazon for ~$10) or get a bluetooth mouse instead

Apple are all about minimalist design. How long before they sell you a Macbook with no keyboard or screen?

Technology actually gets less good as the years go on. Laptops not even having disc drives anymore was the creme de le creme of bullshit.

It's all about capitalism, and companies realizing they can force you to buy more and more additional equipment to do things you could do with less back in the day.

How is it bullshit? As technology advances we have less and less of a need for certain items.

Did you complain this much when floppy drives were removed?

I can't think of a single instance where I was using CDs after 2008/2009.

I agree that Apple removed their disc drive a few years too early. But in the year of 2021, discs are almost exclusively used for Xbox and Playstation games and thats it. Hardly anyone is buying Blu-ray movies, and Vinyl is outselling CDs.

You'd have a point if people weren't buying peripherals to gain back the functionality they lost on newer devices

The "advance" towards peripherals and software only being accessible via internet subscription or a streaming provider is extremely subjective.

Those are not the same thing. Removing old technology is an advancement, not subjective at all. People only complain when its done too early I.e. 3.5mm headphone jacks, or if they are extreme cheapskates and want to keep using 30 year old tech like floppy disks

Zip Drives still work, you just have to use one made in the last 3 years or get a $5 adapter if it's older than that.
