This is why I have a Framework laptop with modular ports.
I can change which ports my laptop has, and on which side it has them, at will. No struggle
Moral of the story: get a USB adapter
This is why you get a adapter stick that has C to micro, C to A, C to Thunder, and a card reader.
I do have a 2-ended USB drive with A and C and it's glorious.
A double ended dongle, you could say?
Perfect for Pride month
C to Thunder? aren't they the same connector? unless you're talking about lightning
Thunder and lightening, very very frightening.

Man, you are the superior one, because you are still using a real Computer
A macbook is a real computer.
If somebody requests that I drop air, I will push a fart. Hope your bougie toy can read that.
I'm proud to be incompatible with Apple
It's rather Apple who is incompatible with the rest of the world. Any other bluetooth device can transfer files with other bluetooth devices.
What's rather ironic is my Linux FOSS setup is more compatible than ever because it can open my students .notes and .pages files, while MS Word couldn't.
And naturally, I'm proud of using FOSS so I guess I'm proud to be compatible with everything.

Americucks and their Apple.
Can't be an American story because Huawei is banned in the USA 🥹
Tell me about it, I worked there once. What a cult! They are essentially the Nike of computers.
Android and Microsoft are in majority use globally, but truth be told they're all faceless tech companies run by billionaires who want to feed their never ending greed.

Imagine being so insecure
Macs are actually pretty secure. Especially with their TPM stuff. It's the everything else that sucks about them
Emotionally insecure.
But yes. My wife was an Apple girl for a long time. She just bought herself a used Pixel 9Pro XL (identical to mine) to use with Graphene OS, and gave me the green light to wipe her Macbook for Linux.
Yes that's the joke
I just have USB-C to USB-A adapter, for this kind of problems, and the reverse adapter as well.
I have an email account for this kind of problems
This is how an entire generation escaped having to carry floppy disks to school

lol what happened to emailing the presentation or sharing it on a cloud drive like Google
Hey remember that tried and true universal plug-in that literally works on everything and everybody loves? Lets not have that anymore.
I know Apple is terrible with usability, but I also think USB-C is now the one that works everywhere. All my last USB stick purchases had USB-A and C, just so that I don't have to run away in tears. I can even use them with smartphones and those never had USB-A.

Just get a usbC flash drive. USB C is actually pretty good and you can easily get one that has both a and c.

Remember folks, apple onyl has usb c because they were forced to
They were forced to have one, they were not forced to remove everything else.
That is solely on them.
