Funnily enough, there was a post arguing about this not so long ago.
I know adapters exist, but for something like HDMI that I use quite regularly, I’ll have a dedicated port thanks.

They basically have the dongle built into the laptop, don’t they?

Pretty much. A fun exercise tho is to pop them out and connect them to my phone when i need ethernet, for… reasons…

I agree with the notion, but at the same time, I think no one wants to deal with the mess of having two different kinds of Ethernet plugs. I mean, if you think about it, needing dongles for connecting Ethernet to USB-C is exactly what would happen, if you had two different Ethernet plugs. So, at this rate, might as well start having USB-C ports on routers, so you can run a USB-C cable all the way…

This … must be the way

you simply rent these attachments, $9.99/mo each

I tried using an HDMI adapter (the kind you is find on these tiny USB C hubs to bring along your laptop) for playing proper video and the sound was missing everything under like 200hz, unwatchable. It’s clearly made to show spreadsheets and PowerPoints and not much else.

The output is capped at 4k 30hz on the cheaper ones, and I assume the cheaper ones wouldn’t have particularly good audio.
HDMI still has the edge over all but the very latest version of USB C, at least with high end equipment. But, it works fine for PowerPoint, which is exactly what I’m using it for.

Quick question: USB-C docks with HDMI have their iwn DAC for audio while video gets passed through?
-
doesn’t hdmi send digital audio?

That’s a good time to change manufacturers.

Aye I know, I work in IT, I’m just saying maybe routers should have USB C ports and just ditch Ethernet altogether
-
Fuck! How come I never thought of that!!!

Which is a great approach IMO. The advantages of dongles without the inconvenience. The Framework 16 has 6 ports which is more than enough for me. I use two USB-C, two USB-A, headphone, and SD card. I sometimes swap the SD card slot for MicroSD, and one of the USB-C for Ethernet. I have HDMI and DisplayPort for if I need them.

USB-C supports both digital and analog audio. HDMI only supports digital audio though, so in that case the DAC would be in whatever device you’re plugging the HDMI cable into.

Hm. Might depend on the hub or cable type. I’m able to get 2560x1440 or (not and) 120hz refresh rate on my HDMI connection. And that limitation seems to come from my laptop GPU.

That sounds bad. Can’t I just subscribe to have them provided for $9.99/mo each? Sounds much better.
