More Thoughts About Dongles

In honor of the new terrible dongle that Apple just released, let’s talk about dongles some more—including who came up with the term.

Thunderbolt Road

How Thunderbolt, the ultra-fast connector that recently turned 10, started life with a completely different look. (Fun fact: $400 Thunderbolt 3 cables exist.)

Donglevision

Pondering the many ways that dongles have taken over our lives, for better and for worse. One port will never rule them all, apparently.

Driver Disaster

Terrible Digital Trinkets
