alt Hacker NewsWhen you plug in a USB stick, surely you want it on the front? Do you get around this with an adaptor or something?
My use case seems common. The bulk of my usage of their desktops was during the ultra minimum list era that you mention. I mostly love their machines but some of the form-over-function is rough.
Presumably Pros don’t need access to the power button either.
On the rare occasion I plug in a usb flash drive (I assume that's what you mean by "stick") I use the usb-c end. On the even rarer occasion I use it with some device that doesn't have usb-c (this is actually just hypothetical I've never done this in practice) I turn the flash drive around and use the usb-a end.
It's been clear that usb-c is the future for a decade now. How on earth do you still have flash drives that are usb-a only?
I probably use the power button once a month, and I'd say this is the norm for most developers/similar people. It's no harder than accessing the menu button/toggle stick on the back of my dell display.
