I even saw one laptop that only had 2 USB-C ports, with 1 of them to use for charging. (Dell XPS 13 for example)
It's very important for me to connect my laptop to a monitor, and to use earbuds, be connected to ethernet, and to have a charger going, all at the same time. I have an old laptop with an HDMI output port, USB, and direct audio jack for earbuds.
I'm struggling to accept that dongles are fast enough or reliable enough. What if I get a HDMI dongle or audio dongle and the connection keeps dropping on my video calls? A direct connections feels "safer" to me than a USB-C splitter.
What do you think. Should I still look for laptops with direct HDMI/Audio/USB connections, or are USB-C only laptops still reliable enough even if you need a dozen different dongles?
"R" is the only programming language I know (stats major) and I can't find a job that uses R because job search engines don't allow you to sort by skill
"R language" is the closest substitute on linkedin but the results are still a jumbled mess of jobs, some looking moreso for other skills (SQL/Python) and mention R passively
I know R-heavy jobs exist but finding them on LinkedIn is virtually impossible
