  • I already have a computer with USB-C - legacy connectors on peripherals force me to buy dongles.

    That’s why I want my computer to have both.

    It’s definitely not as good as it should’ve been, but as long as PC manufactures include as many standards as possible it should play well with whatever standard the peripherals are using.

    Until it doesn’t.



  • But I already have peripheral devices with older connectors. This just forces me to buy dongles.

    Also, USB-C can only “do it all” on paper. In practice you have multiple sockets on any given device that support different subsets of the standard. If you’re lucky, the capabilities are printed right on the device or in the manual. If you’re unlucky you’ll have to figure it out yourself.





  • I had a motorola z3 play a few years ago.

    Software quality was pretty good. Security updates were sometimes 3-4 months behind and would combine a few monts when they did get released. When I contacted them about it I was told that not all security patches google issues apply to them. I don’t have a way of verifying that.

    With “normal” updates to different Android versions they where also slow, but I guess that’s normal with most Android vendors.

    The biggest bummer with that phone was that they killed the module-feature halfway trough it’s livecycle in some regions. (You could snap modules to the back that would add additional stuff like a 360° Camera or a bigger Speaker)

    There is an official lineageos build for the z3 play which still gets updated I believe. Even very recent motorola phones get lineageos pretty soon after release. (Not shure tho if that includes all or just the flagships)
