A week ago, I treated myself to a new monitor: the BenQ MA270S, a 27-inch model with 5K resolution, 2x Thunderbolt 4 ports, and much more. The picture quality is incredibly sharp—the best I’ve ever seen! It was actually meant to connect to my MacBook Pro, but of course, it works just as perfectly with all my Linux and Windows computers.

Guys, it’s been a long time since I’ve been this happy with a computer purchase! Fedora recognized all my hardware perfectly right out of the box, and everything works great!
I’ve had very different experiences with my various mini-PCs made in Chinese factories using child labor, especially with the built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth cards...
Thunderbolt 4 is also recognized correctly, as are all devices connected to it. That didn’t work at all or only partially with the others (for e…
It’s interesting how much more powerful personal computers are now than in the 2000s, e.g. if FireWire was still a thing it would have to be FireWire 120000 to compete with Thunderbolt 5 speeds
Yet today’s application software is mostly very, very bad
type-c is confusing me; With a cheapo c-c cable I've had for a while, I've got as far as my snapdragon showing 'typec-thunderbolt; with the nice new spec'd cables I just got from Kenable it's not getting anywhere that far. Not persuaded a thunderbolt-net to come up yet though.
