The new MacBook Pro is kind of great for hackers
<i>>You can buy tiny little USB-C adapters like this by the handful on Amazon for cents:</i><p>Buying a proper USB-C adapter is not trivial.[1]  I read somewhere that Amazon subsequently removed a lot of bad listings/sellers but that doesn't mean a <i>new</i> batch of bad adapters are selling now 2016.<p><i>>In a year or two when we all have junk drawers packed full of extra generic USB-C cables that cost nearly nothing, we’re going to look back on this and wonder why everyone was so worked up.</i><p>Because Apple didn't synchronize the <i>USB-C-is-the-future </i> simultaneously across all new products.  The brand new iPhone 7 is Lightning instead of USB-C.  The brand new yet-to-be-released AirPods' recharging dock is Lightning instead of USB-C.  That's what leads to the mob mocking Apple's product strategy requiring the clutter of dongles.[2]<p>[1]<a href="http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/11/google-engineer-leaves-scathing-reviews-of-dodgy-usb-type-c-cables-on-amazon/" rel="nofollow">http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/11/google-engineer-leave...</a><p>[2]<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/5a6lbd/it_just_works_apple/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/5a6lbd/it_just_works...</a>
