Somewhat tangential, but USB-C docking stations, as useful as it is to have everything in one cable, it can also be annoying.
At the office, I often just want to charge my laptop with them, but they also give me a wired internet connection, which, thanks to corporate networking shitfuckery, doesn’t work. So, every time I plug in, I have to disable that wired connection.
Also, recently a colleague had problems getting her headset working when she was plugged into certain docks, ultimately due to a bug in the OS.
Like, alright, that should be fixed in the OS, but that USB-C dock doesn’t even have a speaker attached to it. It’s completely useless that it shows up as an audio device.
And even after we found a workaround to fix her headset, she will now have to switch over her audio device every time she plugs into a dock.
So, basically it’s now one step to plug in the cable, but potentially multiple steps to undo half of what you unwillingly plugged in…
Yeah, and at least those are their pets and they don’t, like, violently kidnap wild Pokémon to force those into fights.
I wasn’t sure about it either. There’s security researchers out there who might genuinely want to get a virus to run in a VM.
But yeah, the cmalw-lib-2.0
gives it away…
