This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

my home computer has no USB-C and I can't afford to upgrade because gestures broadly.

You can buy a dongle or hub very cheaply.

First day of the COVID confinement I plugged in a cheap usb c/a dongle into my work laptop to use my mouse and instantly fried the mobo.

Just saying eh 😁

I have a USB-C hub with USB-A ports that plugs into my work PC. I had a hard time trying to find the opposite, though I haven't looked in ages; it honestly has come up exactly once in the last few years when I needed to borrow my wife's sd card reader (or dig my old laptop out of the closet and play the updates game).
