Description

I'm from an older generation that misses physical media and clings to USB-A ports, yet still thinks 3.5mm headphone jacks are a redundant feature on modern laptops. These ports have been a standard feature as long as I can remember, and there was a time when my wired earphones were permanently connected to my laptop for gaming and Skype calls.
