coworker with whom I share a desk sometimes got a new laptop with thunderbolt 3 and a corresponding dock. I was rly excited bc I thought "oh fuck yeah I can use that too with my thunderbolt 3 equipped laptop!!" but... you know where this is going. it makes my laptop crash when i plug it in. "Universal" my fucking ass

nobody will ever change my mind abt usb-c and tb3. it's all awful horrible bullshit and intel + the usb-if need to go to hell.

@tom given that intel is currently paying people to use their rebadged, overclocked skylake chips i think you'll get your wish soon
