Post popular technological failures.

funny how this recent failure fell under the radar lol,

/thread

>miniDP a failure
it's superior than HDMI and more compact

The failure is the mini dvi

I have one of these in my computer. I don't see the point of it personally, but for some reason it's the only slot my xbox controller fits into, so meh.

your mother

>it's superior than HDMI and more compact
IKR
Except USB-C and big DP 2.0 can do that and better.
>implying i'm wrong

hybrid drives?

...

didn't really fail, just had its time and place and got replaced

I have one of these on my laptop, and I plug my mouse into it, because that's the best port for it, and I have my keyboard plugged next to it. It seems like a nice idea, but when I plug a USB plug into it it wiggles a bit, and I never needed eSATA.

What's wrong with esata/USB2 ports?

this

Sys admin and it guy for a mid size office. These things are amazing. Slapping in hds has never been easier

They're actually usb 3. Really handy if you're in IT

iPhones

They were a good fashion accessory but the whole thing crashing down when a homosexual was put in charge. Now iPhones are a joke.

No they are not
They don't deliver power to the eSATA HDD, you need a special version of the port for that

Nice projecting.

Stocks go up, stocks go down. Simple as that. You can't seriously expect constant rising, can you?

>see pic

Nice projecting.
>implying apple will ever rise to previous heights

Nice projecting.
>Apple's stock will plummet to nothingness because I want it to and I hate them!

This. Apple was ebin with steve but ever since he died all stuff from apple has been a joke. 800mhz CPU laptops, $1,000+ ARM tablets trying to replace dekstops/laptops, bendgate, etc.

Apples stock will plummet because nobody wants to buy their shit anymore. Face it, apple products no longer have that magic they used to have now that steve is kill. It's actually becoming embarrassing to admit that you own apple products now.

Why is there no cooling for the VRMs?

Until usb 3.0 I guess.

no royalties either

>They don't deliver power to the eSATA HDD, you need a special version of the port for that

thinkpad master race. feels good

>because I want it to and I hate them!

Got it.

>They don't deliver power to the eSATA HDD, you need a special version of the port for that

So? Many enclosers have their own power brick regardless.

Still massively successful

Android are taking over though

I hope windows comes up with a non shit phone

At least
t's a combo port and not just a worthless waste of space
>tfw you actually regularly use eSATA now

>touch desk
>lose signal
Fuck mini DVI.

FireWire's not a failure.

The big rectangular components are inductors. The VRMs are small surface-mounted chips that are cooled by the copper pipe.

it was pretty good until 90s

uhhh no! They sold like um, 31 iPhones this whole year. NOBODY buys them! Didn't you see my post??

No one cares, Apple already won this battle

I may have never really used it but at the time I -did- look for it as a feature.

>Now

I had one of these on my old laptop. It was actually really useful when I upgraded to an SSD and needed an external drive for games. Usb 2.0 wouldn't have worked too well but eSata was usable.

> falling for the clock speed myth

With clock multipliers usually in the 10-25 range, his complaint is justified.
