This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I'd like to hear more about this. I have a theory that as great as USB-C is for consistency, the fact that it shares a connector with Thunderbolt (to say nothing about the different versions of Thunderbolt) introduces a level of uncertainly when looking at a USB-C connector.
I'm certainly not trying to discount your experience. I'm sure you ran into significant problems. But in general I continue to believe that the general public may not have the right "flavor" of USB-C cable to do what they are trying to do in a given situation.
It's nothing to do with the standard I believe
The same cables and adapters all worked when I used them on my nuc for the same devices, and they wouldn't even work with my mouse on the Mac studio.
My suspicion is that the shell of the case is a bit thick (as the port is recessed behind it), so some cables just failed to touch fully. As, some cables felt more snug and clicked into the port better
For the cost of the computer, it damned sure shouldn't have that issue
Even worse, for the price of the computer, the power button should be on front, not buried on the back. That's overcomplicating things for the sake of doing so
Reminds me of the original iPhone and the 3.5mm audio jack that was too “deep” for normal headphones.
