Leave it to Apple to come up with a way to force owners of laptops with built in monitors to buy external monitors.
I'm curious to see how this plays out.
And before. you go blaming Apple for this quirk in Thunderbolt, remember Intel is the developer behind both USB and Thunderbolt. Apple is an
early adopter of the technology and sits on the standards committee, but Intel is unquestionably the driver.
Is that a fair statement?
I'll guess that the Thunderbolt standard was developed before Apple silicon was around to be a consideration in its development, in which case, Intel couldn't be "at fault" for this glitch.
Isn't it more likely that the underlying issue here is either an unforeseen - and, of course, unforeseeable - incompatibility between the Thunderbolt standard and Apple silicon or an implementation failure on Apple's part?
