#tfw you gotta SSH into your computer to force a reboot because the USB crash took out the monitor

[pleasestopthese]

it's weird how desktops aren't a thing anymore? right now i'm fighting for my life to get away from USB. fighting for my life to find firewire equipment that's still supported. fighting for my life to find decent serial ports. fighting for my life to find a MIDI interface that doesn't crash unpredictably. fighting for my life to have an uptime of months instead of hours and all the ridiculous crashes the USB subsystem causes. fighting for my life to access storage at the block level without being stuck with my internal drives. fighting for my life for a monitor output that isn't also USB. fighting for my life trying to find any equipment that takes its basic functioning seriously and doesn't railroad me into the worst connection standard to exist.

Fighting for my life trying to find a phone or tablet with a headphone jack. Fighting for my life trying to find a laptop with a cd rom. Fighting for my life trying to get more than one usb port or, god forbid, an hdmi. Fighting for my life trying to find any electronics that haven't been streamlined into flimsy chastity belts with the structural integrity of a sopping sheet of paper which require me to buy 3 extra devices (each with their own separate charging requirements) all because some silicon valley jackass somewhere decided holes were a bad thing.
