https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/2019-09/USB-IF_USB4%20spec%20announcement_FINAL.pdf >USB-C connectors mandated >USB 2.0 backwards compatibility minimum (your 1.1 keyboard is now moot) >b-but now you can tunnel PCI-Express Jesus Christ, even Micro$oft gives somewhat of a fuck about backwards compatibility. Do they really think that we'll send a fuckton of hardware right to trash, just because they feel like changing the connector?
>/pol/kiddo doesn't understand USB, news at 11 If your keyboard has an usb-c connector, then it's not 1.1, and you can bet motherboards will have standard USB ports for quite a while (the same way some still have serial KB/M ports). Also pci-e passthrough is a big deal, you'd understand were you not a raging faggot.
>>1179 >If your keyboard has an usb-c connector, then it's not 1.1 Find a keyboard with an usb-c plug in your house. Good luck. >Also pci-e passthrough is a big deal You could this with expresscard for years.
I doubt this will be a big deal. My x570 motherboard still has a PS2 port (which I did have to use once or twice with a PS2 mouse), and it also has native USB 2 ports even though I don't think there's any reason to have those. Video cards haven't had VGA ports for years so I just bought an adapter for a 13yo monitor and that's it. Did you complain when ATA and AGP ports were phased out too?
>>1180 >Find a keyboard with an usb-c plug in your house. Good luck. I'm glad to see that /pol/niggers still can't read a full line before replying: non USB-C ports are not going away anytime soon.
Backward compatibility is gay C brain damage tier bloat. It's the sole reason why x86 is still operates like an overclocked 16 bit CPU and C makes every computer operate like a 70's mainframe.
>>1179 >>1183 Now that I think about it, you guys are right. RIP laptops, though
>>1256 Laptops tend to cut corners and would rather overcharge you for a "gaming" model than let you plug in an external GPU, so the issue will most likely be laptops not having the new port at all rather than laptops not having old USB ports. >>1268 >redpilling people by telling them they might perhaps have to buy a new keyboard somewhere in the future The public opinion couldn't bring itself to care about Snowden for more than a couple months, why do you think they'll care about you?
>technology progresses >retard from /pol/ can't help but throw a fit and whine about jews for the 80th time that morning You may as well bitch and moan that modern graphics cards and monitors dropped VGA support ages ago, and most motherboards don't have serial ports anymore. They're not actually needed. You can cobble together a legacy machine with old hardware if you really, really need support for obsolete hardware.
>>1563 >VGA obsolete literally nothing is obsolete in monitors since the market just is a bunch of retards adding trendy features every day. the one only thing i can think of that's objectively bad is 60Hz LCDs
>>1572 >proving the point immediately Analog is completely obsolete for video, given its vulnerability to noise.
Chill out: by the point motherboard manufacturers will stop putting USB 3 ports, all USB 1.1 devices will long be dead (and you will still be able to put a USB 3 expansion cards in your computer anyway, if you really need that USB 1.1 compatibility). But Crapple users sure fucked, but they won't mind, otherwise they wouldn't be Crapple users.
>>1178 >your 1.1 keyboard is now moot i just bought a ps/2 keyboard and mouse from perixx, they are working perfectly fine on my modern h570 chipset motherboard
>>1180 >Find a keyboard with an usb-c plug in your house. Good luck. My Razer Huntsman TE has USB Type C. I replaced it with a PS/2 keyboard because I didn't like Razer's Synapse bloatware. I found your challenge just in time, as the Huntsman is going in the dumpster tomorrow morning
>>1181 >native USB 2 ports even though I don't think there's any reason to have those some usb bluetooth adapters say right on the box they need to be in a usb 2.0 port because usb 3.0 operates at 2.4GHz, which interferes with the bluetooth signal. also usb 2.0 is more compatible with stock windows 7 and earlier
>>1180 >Find a keyboard with an usb-c plug in your house. A year and a half late it may be, but the board I've been using for the past four or five years takes USB-C. The computer end is USB-A right now, but a replacement C-to-C cable would be cheap even if I'm still using this board a decade from now and I need to plug into a type C port. Don't tell me, are you using some Jew hardware with non-replaceable cables, so it needs to be thrown away and replaced entirely once the cable frays even if the actual hardware is still good? Do you do that with headphones too?
>>7910 Stop using wireless and Windows.
